In Japan, there is a description for a certain type of job.
They are called 3K - which the English translation is
dirty
dangerous
demeaningWho takes those jobs? Immigrants.
I think there is a version like this all over the world.
In the US, it is the Spanish people
In Thailand, the Burmese
In Taiwan, mainly mainland Chinese
etcEver watch the old Mike Rowe series, Dirty Jobs? Lots of dirty and dangerous jobs out there. Some of them pay pretty well.
As for bricklayers, concrete finishers, roofers and the like, those are physically demanding jobs, but the money can be pretty good. I don't think you can compare those jobs to things like agriculture work.

It's a bit of a trap, though. A buddy of mine is some kind of specialist window installer. Money's good but a hernia and subsequent surgery put him out of work for about 2 weeks. Problem is, it'll be hard for him to change professions.
Please love yourself.

The people I know who do this kind of work frequently seem to end up with physical issues. When you hit 50, it's not the same.

Yeah, I hear that's what a lot of guys do. It can work out really well, but I've heard that for every 1 person who made that leap, there are 3 or 4 who failed at it. Mostly it's because running a business requires an entirely different set of skills that you gotta develop an aptitude for, or you'll sink. Seems a lot of folks don't know that going in.
