my family owns a roofing company.my dad is 64 and still going at it but hes not normal.dont know how much longer he can keep it up.i havent been up on a roof in years.fuck that shit. ill still help if they need me thoughthats the issue with the trades. welder, construction, whatever. can make enough money to have a decent life but you destroy your body.
thats one of the reasons i quit construction, and went back to school. also, a lot more money where im at.
