I don’t know man, it was getting to where I was having to sit in front of the computer for 10 hours a day. That’s not healthy at all past a certain age.
well im a walker/bike type that uses a standing desk and I don’t think I go 30mins without walking over and filling my water or using the bathroom. That being said the loss of the retire at 55 thing will kill us all.
And you think hauling buckets of asphalt into a roof is healthy at any age? Having being knee deep in literal human shit? Carrying around 2x4 and 50lb plywood sheathing?
Long term working pretty much any straight job is bad for your health. Software design will make you crazy. Working construction for any company means getting squeezed to work too hard. Best to avoid the whole exploitative toxic mess.
Best to live in the margins.
I work as an independent general contractor in a rural area. Fix and/or build toilets, floors, walls, lights, fences etc. A little bit of everything. It’s surprisingly stable. Don’t even have to advertise. No boss. Good pay. No bennies.
My wife has tons of medical issues. That would not work for me but honestly you need a certain mindset for that I just don’t have. Most businesses actually grow out of people doing what you are now.
long term the office is likely better for your health but man actually doing things you can admire afterwards is so effing satisfying.

I can do both. I make the drawings that people with real talent work from to build stuff.
