I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don’t lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

    It’s also a job as you allude to where early retirement needs to be part of the plan. It’s a good job but hard on the body and it’s hard to create an efficient way to reduce the amount of weight that they need to lift in a day.

    I know a few who were union and pensioned off, retired in their 50s but that doesn’t change the way their joints feel.

    Not sure if it’s better or worse than turd herding.
