Re:High-School Shop Students Attract Skilled-Trades Job Offers by tacticalturtle on Monday May 12, 2025 @09:40AM (#43962785)
Completely anecdotal - but the guys I know in trades have a larger proportion that smoke/drink heavily compared to the office workers I know.

Would be curious if there’s a study that compares “health nut” physical trade workers with “health nut” office workers.

Still as you said, there’s a lot of risk with relying on physical capabilities for work.

If an office worker gets injured outside of work, you can still do the basic job.

If a physical tradeworker gets injured outside of work, you could be out of a paycheck.
