Is this more of a US issue? I'm ex tradesman and know a lot of tradespeople in my part of the world and they're often some of the best off and fittest people I know. Being on your feet all day and moving around seems to be good for the human body rather than sitting behind a desk for 8 hours which we now is incredibly bad for you.
- Workaccount2 4y agoThere is a spectrum here. Plenty of tradesmen "living the retired life" at 50 with two blown knees and a bad back.

- Karrot_Kream 4y agoDepends on your personality and the jobs you've taken. I know auto mechanics wrenching it into their late 60s. A friend's dad owns grocery stores and still does stocking in his late 60s. He puts our step count to shame. I also know fly-by-night moving companies that work kids into the ground by having them lift things in all sorts of bad positions. I know impatient people who will lift with bad form because they're in a rush. (I don't want to imply that these are negative personality traits. Many, many people have a hard time dealing with the patience required to lift things properly for a job.)
