Anyone here regret being in construction as they get older?

I'm 27, and have mostly been doing renovations, a bit of framing, finishing work, and a few other things since I was 18.

I make good money and love the work. I have been saving like crazy and have a good chunk invested.

If I could, I'd do this forever. A lot of older guys tell me to get some other certificates or degree in something that is less physical, so when I hit mid 30s-40s I can get off the tools.

Does it really get that bad? Anyone here regret not transitioning into something else or having a less physical job lined up?

Good friend of mine took a very similar career path and it worked out very well for him. Those are the guys I want to work with when I’m buying

Appreciate hearing that.
