  1. Depends on the trade. Mechanical ones arent too bad but stuctural ones (framing, concrete, rebar or structural steel) take more than they give. Many men spend the second half their life in pain because of trades

  2. Mike doesnt have to go to a jobsite everyday so its easy for him to reccomend trades. Ask an old broken tradesman what he thinks, not a celebrity.

  3. Dont forget his bullet proof backpack

  4.  @ladyelainefairchild3546  tons of options for women in trades. Id recommend a mechanical one though. Easier on the body

  6.  @bethanycarlson3097  ugh, he is a pretend blue collar worker. He has been in show business for 20 or more years. What, you think he swings a hammer when filming ends? You say im the ignorant one

  8. ​​ @beths999  have you ever met a rebar installer or concrete placing crew? Not exactly MENZA material.

  9. Like i said on another post, depends on the trade. Elevator guys have it pretty easy compared to other trades. Either way it only takes a slight lapse in attention to end his career. Is that really what you would want for your kids?

  10. Why would they.

  11. Why did you go into office work if trades are so great. Plenty of women on jobsites now

  14.  @derekbaker777  at 43 you should.look for an operating job. Whether its forklift or another piece of equipment it doesnt realy matter. Gotta look out for your health whengetting a bit older

  15.  @indianlarry6105  its not good for anyone. Its all less intelligent men have where they can make a decent living

  16. ​ @annebreitrick6116  how old is he if you dont mind me asking
    1
  17.  @annebreitrick6116  so he is more than likely at the end of his carreer. He is also an oddity if he made a retirement for himself as most guys in trades are more concerned with drinks after work than their 401K. Good for him, i do hope the trade didnt take his health though.

  24.  @fearthekrazy5186  im not looking down on anyone. Im advocating people educate themselves and earn their money with their brain rather than their body. Unfortunately some dont have that option

  36. ​ @TCGaming4fun  i worked trades when i was younger. I was in structural steel. You wouldnt have called me anything back then because i was as strong as an ox. Here i am 35 years later with the same back injury i got in that trade. Hardly a wuss, just smarter now

  37. Exactly. What a farce

  38. Youve never worked in a hard trade before. Mike doesnt either. Spend a lifetime working rebar and see what shape youre in at the end of it
