Also worth noting that this job is a ton of “make it work”. Everything looks great to the engineer until you get out into the field with 1000+ premade things and each one needs adjusted an inch because the concrete raises 3” from one side of the building to the other. We’re not even close to automation.

I’ll counter this. 30 year old Electrician and feel just fine. Renovating some of the biggest hospitals in my state capital and feel like I worked harder at my first job stocking shelves than I do now as an Electrician. Naturally a physically demanding job will take its toll but so does sitting at a desk. Just different types of exhaustion

Reminds me of Kurotsuchi from Bleach
