    Tradies also tend to wreck their bodies early, reducing their lifetime income, so i don’t think comparing hourly wages is the really important part when deciding on career choices

      This varies hugely between trades though, and the sedentary lifestyle of some office workers isn’t great either.

      Skilled and qualified tradies aren’t typically thrashing their bodies the way a site labourer will.
