The implication is not that it doesn’t pay well, it’s that it’s dangerous and very hard on your body. Work as a construction worker till your 50 (if you don’t die in an accident before then) and your body will hate you for it

Also that construction worker: has bad back, bad knees, arthritic hands and skin cancer at age 42

Don’t get me wrong the trades are amazing for a kid to get into right out of school, and they’re critically necessary. But don’t be expecting to make a lifelong career out of it, because it is absolutely hard on your body. Do it for 5 years max and move up to management.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a construction worker. It's a super important and useful career. But it is hard work and it'll chew you up, then you're left not being able to work at all.

There are less intense trades. Sure, a bricklayer and drywaller is gonna be hurting after ten years, but telco, electronic security, automation, and fire alarm trades are quite sustainable and offer technical challenges often to keep things interesting. You just need to be okay with heights. We use scissor lifts quite a bit.
