As for bricklayers, concrete finishers, roofers and the like, those are physically demanding jobs, but the money can be pretty good.
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.

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.

My niece married a guy who did that. He later started his own company in Florida and has done pretty durn well.

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.
