Very true.
Someone has to do the work it’s a lot of hard work not everyone can do it.
Doing this job takes a different breed of man.
A man that can work through the pain and work through the mental stress of worrying about the next job and hoping that nothing goes wrong. Like hitting roots or old stumps in ground from being buried years ago or what was put into the ground sand clay or rocks you never know until you start digging. You just keep your head raised high and keep on going and focusing on what got to be done.
My daddy always told me you gotta have mind strength no matter how big or small you are your mind can get you through it.
It's easy to talk about working until 67 when your hands haven't spent forty years swinging a hammer.
It's easy to talk about retirement age when your knees haven't spent decades pouring concrete, framing houses, lifting patients, or working twelve-hour shifts.
People aren't machines.
Behind every retirement number is a body that has carried a lifetime of work.
Maybe the question shouldn't only be “How long can you work?”
Maybe it should also be “How much of your life should work take?”
