    I was a construction worker and welder for 12 years before I switched to IT, after seeing what a retirement-age welder looks like.

      tbf it doesn’t help that a lot of blue collar workers insist on being fucking idiots and ignoring safety procedures, there’s a bloody reason you wear special gear when welding

      I work in IT. I’m sure a retirement age welder doesn’t look great but I’m starting a gym next Monday as I’ve seen the size my colleague who’s retiring this Friday got to after 36 years.
