[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? Outwardly I be okay with it (to them) but I work for Disability and know how easy it is to get a life altering (or at least job altering) injury working in a trade. So that part would worry me. So as soon as they started working I would ensure they have disability I surface and a set up for retirement since most trades are unlikely to have a 401k account.[/quote] Oh and I know folks have mentioned that office jobs are hard on the body too, but let me see it is VERY rare a person with a history of office work comes across my desk. In fact, the last one I had was due to a TBI from a car accident. You can be significantly injured or disabled and still work at a desk job. The same can't be said for jobs where you are active on your feet or lifting heavy objects. Again, not saying that this means no one should go into a trade, just that one should have the insurance to support them if something goes wrong. [/quote]
