Probably not. My father is an electrician, and has been for over 30 years now. His body is falling apart, which makes it tough for him to work without an assistant, or in the summer due to the heat (heart issues). Standing around and/or driving all day is terrible for ones health, but working 10-12 hours a day is not conducive to exercising (or eating well). He pushed me into college when I worked with him as a youth. He straight up told me, "be an engineer, those guys make twice what I do for half the work." Also, an often ignored fact of trades is that recessions hit them hard. My dad had nearly no work for all of 2009 and the company he worked for nearly went bankrupt.
