Primary cost of labor is your health. Those kind of jobs aren't done by people over 45. The human body degrades during that sort of work.

- mars4rp 7y agohave you heard about age discrimination in tech?
- geggam 7y agoI have 50 decades of life and work in tech. You tell me ?
- Sophistifunk 7y agoLook, Methusela. I doubt you were working in software in the 1500s.
- deertick1 7y agoLol tell that to my dad who is still painting houses at 63. Or his competition who is still painting at 70. that is preposterous. In fact most laborors I know are well above 45. Yeah it takes a toll on your health but most of the health issues I see in labor intensive jobs is because of alcoholism. Its good for your body by and large to get up every day and do physical work. Yes your back will hurt, and your feet and your joints. But you'll be in good health.
- geggam 7y agoThink construction... welders... carpenters... plumbers... guys who smash appendages and crawl around in mud. I know quite a few old ones and I know many many more who struggle with pain every day as they are my age and talk to me about it. ( IT being my 3rd career after welding and meatcutting ) I have many friends who are dropping out of the workforce and finding alternative jobs because they cant do the work. Painting is hard work but its one of the less body impacting you can do. There are a few roles like that and yes, being active is a good thing.
