This trade is no joke… especially when you’re starting over at 40+.

I break down: What rooftop electrical work really feels like as an older apprentice The knee pain and inflammation that comes with the job The Klein Tools knee compression sleeve I’ve been using on site The anti-inflammatory foods I picked up from HEB that are helping me stay in the game And how I’m trying to last in a trade that doesn’t slow down for anyone Subscribe if you’re navigating a career change, layoffs, or thinking about the trades.
