Blue collar jobs can be great money but we all have to honest about the nature of the work: the work is difficult, its generally low-paying, laborious, and destroys your body.
There's a reason you don't see many people 50+ in blue collar roles.

Most blue collar jobs start out as grunt work, but work into a crew management type position. Some people don't have the mental ability to move up to those positions.

My father in law is in his early 70's still working HVAC and electrical. Still averaging around 500k a year.

That’s generally because people don’t take care of themselves.
Nothing to do with the amount of work.
