The funny thing is, growing up, construction is awe-inspiring.
In my last position, I worked across the street from where they were putting up two buildings. We'd gawk over how brave they must be to be up that high on the rafters.
- CydeWeys 8y agoSame. I always love looking at buildings in various stages of construction. I designed and built a shed from scratch five years ago and it was highly enjoyable (and of course a lot of hard work). Just the amount of research to figure out how to do everything properly really satisfies that "geeking out on a new hobby" urge. I think people underestimate how bad the whole "being outside during all four seasons" aspect of these jobs is, though. Most other jobs are indoors, whether they're highly skilled (e.g. SWE) or not (e.g. fry cook).
