It really depends on what you do

My BIGAGRO relatives do a lot of manual labor on their own (feeding cattle, horses, some tractor work, moving feed, etc.). My uncle is like 60 and still OK with doing the manual labor work, although one of his knees is not doing so great.

working for a union sucks. it's mostly standing around and not doing anything. there is a TON of union bullshit that you have to put up with, too

i hear you though, you're paid well and it's a safe career that will take care of you. for many people it's a great gig. i'm just a very independent oriented person and enjoy working for a smaller private company

pretty rare, depending on the job and union, most people retire after 20-22 years with 90% lifetime pensions that can be transferred to a spouse. once they hit 62 they start collecting Social security if they don't save. Some work all the way up to 62. Body gets used to hard labor pretty quickly

Do I come off as an illegal or illiterate? Why the fuck would I do roofing or any form of residential non-union construction ? Of all the manual labor/blue collar jobs you picked the smallest sliver. Why not get into strawberry picking and misc. other brutal jobs that illegals do in CA and functionally retarded people do everywhere else.

As a non union example, a toyota certified mechanic pulls in 70k a year doin 9-5 and often times more with their generous overtime benefits.

I probably have spent more time doing “manual labor” than any lawyer on this bort.

Everything from framing, to roofing, to plumbing, to landscaping, to electrical, to plastering, to wood working, and probably a few thousand hours restoring old cars and doing maintenance and repair on new ones.

As a hobby, it’s all fine. But god help you if it is your job and you have to do it everyday. My uncle was a welder. He made good money, but his knees were shot at 50 and his eyes suffered. He also got cancer young probably because of chemical exposure.

Even working on a freezing cold car for a day sucks. Or pulling wire. Or replacing cast iron soil pipe (guess what travels though soil pipe).

Yes. (But not distressed leather, pull up leather). I am into all that kind of stuff. Antiques, old stuff, tube amps etc.

Although my upholstery skills are limited to fitting seat covers on cars (not the Walmart kind the remove the old covers and refit with hog rings type) and doing things like dining room chairs (staples on the bottom), however I have not sewn much anything of consequence.

It is one where the learning curve is steep enough and the cost when you fuck up is high enough you are better off paying the guy who does it everyday. Leather hides are not cheap. The machine to sew it is ridiculously expensive. My ex gf could do dresses and curtains, but I am not one for non-leather upholstery. Besides, anything common in automotive you can buy premade covers and fit them yourself no sewing.

Roofing costs have been driven down by illegals. They get paid $20 and hour and are fast. If you are an employer, your workers comp insurance is insane, and if you are an independent contractor god help you if you fall because even if you survive you will be destitute.

I can shingle a lowish pitch shingle roof no problem, but hauling pallets up there is killer (most crews run a big forklift). Tile/slate guys do well, but that is an art and no one pays for them much anymore. I hire the work out now unless it is an EPDM recoat or something.

Construction guys in NYC make six figs working regular hours

Seems like a decent job in NYC - a lot of regulations prohibit working at nights and on weekends (for noise reasons), so they can only work within certain day time hours during the weekday. Usually I see guys chit chatting and hanging out when working - very social job it seems.
