> Sometimes I wonder if I'd be happier as a construction worker but I'm too old for that now and it has very destructive long-term consequences for the human body. Sometimes we say "Well, I can always do X." But as you observe, we often can't always do X. Ironic that the conditions of some professions, like construction or truck driving, contribute to limiting the time you can spend in them. Sitting in the driver seat all day long, and eating poorly for convenience, contribute to obesity and diabetes, for example.
