There are less intense trades. Sure, a bricklayer and drywaller is gonna be hurting after ten years, but telco, electronic security, automation, and fire alarm trades are quite sustainable and offer technical challenges often to keep things interesting. You just need to be okay with heights. We use scissor lifts quite a bit.
Ya lost me at the height part, I had to go up the roof of a not-quite-finished building once to cover the "highest bit" ceremony, climbing the last floors on some shitty ladders on the side of the building, I thought I'd pass out lmao.
