Not to mention the toll it takes on your body. I know so many former construction workers who now have life-long, "wear and tear" injuries in their 40s and 50s, which makes it hard for them to find work without moving to an entirely different industry.

After 6 years my knees were fucked, by 25 I couldn't kneel down for more than 5 min without feeling it for days afterwards. I've been out of construction now for over 10 years now they aren't any better but at least they haven't got worse.
