I can understand that. Unless you have your own outfit, check into the safety industry, too. Larger firms have people up on the latest regs, and it's work that won't leave you stiff in the morning when you get older. With the comp background, it might be an option.

Some say it can be overdone, but it sure saved a lot of lives and fingers, toes, and limbs during this last oil boom up here.

Either way, do what you love, and sleep well at night.

I’m a subcontractor/contract labor-I work for myself, part of a crew of subs-we do only small jobs in this rural area and safety is one of the things I do-body mechanics, safe working conditions, accommodations, if needed etc. I’m already past well 60, and I’m still doing the physical stuff by choice-I like working outdoors. I have had no injuries since 40-I follow my own recommendations...
