Good point about the pension (or other retirement provision). You won't lose fingers or lose your hearing if you take proper care. You won't destroy your back

Good point about the pension (or other retirement provision).
You won't lose fingers or lose your hearing if you take proper care. You won't destroy your back if you stay in shape. There are pressures to do the wrong thing. People can resist them. There are risks; this is why people wear hardhats and steel-toed boots on worksites. But the risks can be managed.
The pay remains .. a challenge.
- CydeWeys 8y agoAccidents happen. You only have so much control over them. You also aren't the only person on the jobsite. You can be the most careful person in the world, and then die because your fumbling coworker a few stories up dropped a beam on your head. A good parallel is motorcycles. A good motorcycle rider is much less likely to experience accidents than a bad rider, but even the best rider is still more likely to experience accidents than a car driver, simply because of all the other people on the road. You only have so much control. Likewise, even the best construction worker is still more likely to wear out their body or experience accidents than the average office worker.
