The labor is light enough where it won't fuck up your lifts. Get a more labor intensive job and you will struggle to lift 6 days a week.

I'm a steel worker, it made getting in shape a lot harder for me actually. Spend all day at the factory, doing tiring work. But it doesn't actually get you much more fit. It's not like Popeye where you're constantly slinging around steel plates. Sure you lift stuff sometimes, stuff that can be quite heavy. But it's only lifting with your legs and back and if you value your body you will avoid lifting heavy shit and use the forklift or crane. Other work is shit that can also be hard but not necessarily build muscle like grinding, welding, loading trailers, sweeping, shoveling, hammering, etc.

I'd much rather have an office job where I can come home not tired and have more energy to do proper workouts. But I didn't go to college so whatever

And enjoy breathing in the sawdust, or in my case metal dust. I'll be dead 10 years earlier

ai and international work from home will end all office jobs in 10 years. it would have happened sooner but it was delayed so as not to crash the economy and the commercial real estate market. things will transform slowly. best find a job that a robot can't do while you still can. in the near future, only those with jobs will have any chance of being wealthy.

I have other things I wish to do with my life and can't commit to a 20 year work contract because it would fuck that up.

then theyll pay like dogshit. The job is objectively over taxing, the only reason people do it is because of the decent money for barely any formal education. Once that changes youre just a slave nigger

carpentry is based and fit op

however

most tradies in my country hardly know their own trades and just go around doing high volumes of terrible work on places nobody wants to live in. as you rightly point out, carpentry is an ancient, essential and highly skilled profession and yet most modern carpenters spend their days knocking together prefab homes in the middle of nowhere for volume builders. people who care about the quality of their build will either build it themselves and learn the ropes or hire extremely selectively

so here comes the truth

what matters is not your profession but whether or not you own your own business

all good modern construction work is done by owners or small teams where the builder owns the company and supervises all employees closely. situations where those employed depend on an excellent reputation to get work

meanwhile there are no self employed social media managers or project leads

the filter you are looking for is not whether someone works a desk job or not, but whether or not they own their own business

of course there must be an exception that makes the rule and that is the class of jobs where people can be legally held accountable: obviously we would not insinuate that air traffic controllers, surgeons and engineers responsible for designing a bridge do not have real jobs. in addition, many people will first be excellent employees for a period before accumulating the funds and momentum to start their own business

i hope you start a building company and get rich op

Because carpentry is fucking gay and those belts will inevitably cause a hernia and almost every carpenter Ive met has been an utter retard with anger problems

Your suggesting a carpenter tool bag is heavy enough to cause a hernia?

Framers are mostly fat shlubby guys though
I've worked in construction for a while and desu very few people are fit
Certainly more than average population
There's the occasional powerlifter or bb on gear
You can also always tell the hard workers from the perpetual ass-draggers by their forearms even if they're fat shlubby guys so that's cool
If you have a hand fetish it's a great career path

>Mfw I am a construction estimator
Ironically chad profession and career path.

You get to study engineering but are not stuck doing none stop site inspections for minor works. Tender walks once a month at most to get out of the office. Will never be replaced by AI. Can work from home. Will always be an asset to any company. All other white collar professionals around you are normal, sane people with the onions faggots filtered out long ago. Can stick to fitouts/small newbuilder $5-10million tenders and have a relaxed career while still earning $150-200k or if you have the drive, do tier 1 project estimating for he big bucks $200k+. Ausfag dollaerydoos.

I'm 33 in Sydney on $180k + bonus doing nothing but D&C works for shopping centers and malls.
