MODERATORS
Talk to any master plumber. You will wreck your body. It's not a forgiving career.
Electrician people.
I'm not so sure electrician is any easier on the body. Both require lots of sustained effort at odd and awkward positions.
Not arguing one is better or worse, just that both are physically demanding jobs that are quite different than riding a desk all day.
I've never met an electrician with a destroyed body but I've met many master plumbers with it.
The big difference is electrical rarely involves laying on the floor in tight spaces navigating existing furniture.
Electricians usually just die instantly, instead of destroying their body over time.
Feature, not a bug
One of those trades don't come with PCB.
