What are the best jobs to get to help toughen up? (physically and mentally)

Commercial and industrial Roofing.
Summers are horrible and winters will kill you if you don’t take care of yourself. Being bent over all day fucks your back. If you think you’re gonna bulk up on healthy food, you’re wrong, you’re burning just as many calories out in the sun as a professional athlete. You’re either stick thin or have a huge gut from stuffing yourself full of twinkies and cigarettes because it’s all you can afford on 5% higher than minimum wage. It was great for building capacity and I went and got my mechanical engineering degree and all my certifications.
Pic related is one I got called out to engineer and fix.

Also architects are pussies who have no practical knowledge, just theory. Faggoty designers that make things look pretty on blueprints but are totally infeasible irl.

Yeah I’ve always stayed away from doing any roofing. I also lost that blue collar pride shit too. Looking down on someone because they make more money and don’t have to break their ass as hard is cope. But yeah anytime I’ve had to do anything with roofing it sucked pretty bad.

I never see women complaining about the lack of women in those fields.
I hope the pay was good.

I study construction/structural engineering and we have the same kind of complaints towards them.

roughnecking on an offshore oil rig. never done it but i would love to try it. you usually do 12 hour shifts every day for like 28 days i think, then you heli back to land and get 28 days off.

engineers are just as retarded as architects pal, don't get ahead of yourself

No we aren't, we're on the field and we interact with the workers.

Miningbro here.

Youd be surprised actually how many birds we had working on our camp. Our Safety Officer was this battleaxe lesbian who used to work in offshore oilrigging, absolute quality member of the team. And we also had this hard as nails south African female metalurgist who grafted like fuck.

Youre right though, there's hardly any women screaming to be let into the industry.

Hilariously there was an audit on the company for gender equality and it came back as lopsided in the favour of the lads, (of course). Apparently men got paid more than women there. Even though a male Operator was on about the third of what the payroll girl was on and she didn't have to deal with shit like, oh I don't know one of my good mates dying or weird environmentalists turning up in the dead of night

paramedic, not so much physical but reanimating for 1h and then just say fuck it is hard too. having a baby die on the way makes you mentaly prepared for almast everything

protip: the workers don't like you

>roughnecking on an offshore oil rig. never done it but i would love to try it. you usually do 12 hour shifts every day for like 28 days i think, then you heli back to land and get 28 days off

Try 16 hour days and two weeks off, but you're basically on call for those two weeks because transport issues so you end up spending your leave in somewhere like Aberdeen where the whores are so minging you don't get an STI you just get fucking barnacles on your wedding tackle

chef

Not who you’re replying to, but if the engineer isn’t also a foreman, you may be right, but I honestly don’t care what someone thinks if they’ve been doing it for 2 months vs. my lifetime of busting ass to crawl out of the pit.

C'mon now boysies no need to argue. Engineers are very valuable additions to the team.

Somebody has to keep the seats in the snackroom warm while everyone else grafts

I'd apply for the job if it existed in my country. I'm 100% serious.

if you actually worked in the field first you're probably cool, but most engineers are white collar faggots who have no hands on experience who make you do stupid shit because thats what the eggheads with soft hands at kike school taught him to say.

I'm not being paid to be liked by the workers.

does your country have a registered pedophile list?

Of course not, they get paid more and sit in a comfy office most of the day

recognising this and learning that you will never be one of the lads is an important part of being an engineer. You’re stuck in the shitty territory of being treated as a manager by the workers and as a worker by the managers. The fact most engineers are mild spergs doesn’t help.

You learn humility in jobs like that. But working in fast food is unironically better than being a barista. Have worked in a few cafes and the atmosphere is usually bitchy due to the high number of bitter female coworkers.

And architects dislike us because they think we're too pragmatic, we're just a necessary tool for them.

Construction labour I would say is probably one hardest physical jobs out there did for 6 months with clasthics my wight when up by 15kg and down 15kg you burn so Mich calories on hard day.but the bant,s was great.was nicknamed tiny tim cause am about 5,4 and look like child

no one likes you because you're all a bunch of faggots. it has nothing to do with the job, but the personality of the people who gravitate towards the job.

wtf

Feel u bro, barista here 6months

I've done construction jobs and varius service jobs and the barista is the toughest one yet. Applied because I thought it would be the easy life. Boy was I wrong

or train yourself to become a all round "spy"

I work on the underground electricity grid. Work live on the low voltage network (600v) and around high voltage equipment all the time. Loads of PPE melts you in summer but freezes you in winter, at best you can work in a substation but most jobs are muddy holes in the ground. If the network faults you are out fixing it no matter the conditions outside.

Love the job though, work with your hands, have some cushy days when it's quiet and the pay can be quite good. Prefer it to my old career in ICT

> barista

This thread is full cope.

"I destroy my body and lungs but at least I'm stronk and manly"
"I have no skills and make min wage but at least I'm humble"

You are all underachieved copers. Do you know what is actually challenging? Reaching high level professions and doing something more valuable than digging rocks. Rename this "Pleb Containment Thread"

in 20 years every profession that isn't involved in building houses or farming will be obsolete. get some real skills and enjoy the collapse buddy

>clients will want to talk to automated AI machines all day
Sure okay buddy

reality is going to hit you hard and i'm not talking about robots

> living for the apocalypse
GTFO my porch Jehovah's Witness

This was a thread about challenging jobs. Not customer service clerks.

Firefighter/Paramedic here, demanding and pay/benefits are good , also we can't have beards so no basedboys work in the field

Bartender. You get to drink away all your insecurities and feels away.

bad experience with a few cuntish engineers? you shop floor lads are responsible for a fair amount of mind numbing stupidity too, had a ‘disagreement’ with a supervisor a few hours ago that boiled down to his lads being too fucking lazy to follow a procedure that was in place for their own safety

having said that a lot of engineers do think their degree entitles them to a lot more respect than they deserve

Miningbro here. I never mentioned coal but as for lung problems thats what powered RPE is for.

Anyway, that aside I just do the work that makes me happy. Before I joined mining I was a higher up in marketing. I hated every minute of it, I hated being indoors and having to give people bollockings and the office politics and a thousand other things. Sure it was good money and the house it paid for is very nice but every minute of it felt like an ill fit.

So I career changed and went for the dirtiest meanest toughest job I could find as a sort of challenge to myself to see if i could hack it and I found myself flourishing and getting promotions like no tomorrow. I feel better for it.

Everyone's got a good fit for them mine just happens to be me getting filthy.

This.
I've been working in restaurants since I was 14 (22 now, just quit actually) and depending on the place it can be emotionally devestating. I started working weekends when I was young, ended up missing family functions and hanging with friends just for pocket change. Flash forwards to 18, where I was working 70+hrs a week during the summer (went from dishwasher->garde mange) and basically got shit on by my managers 24/7 because they thought I was a moody little shit, which I was. To be fair, once you work that much, back to back 14hr shifts on your feet with no scheduled breaks or meals, getting home at 12:30am knowing you have to be up early for a double shift the next day...it breaks anyone down. I saw good people break. Fuck, it basically made me the miserable, irritable person I am today. Now I can't stand people asking for help when they are capable themselves, I hate cleaning up after people or taking on their responsibilities, and I'm condescending to people who are clearly retarded. Now I have alot of mental shit to work through as well as lingering depression.

As for the physical side...I had all the access to food if I stole it, or just ate stuff that people didn't care about like salad or mashed potato or chicken fingers, ate as much as I could, used weed to stimulate my appetite, and I still dropped 5 lbs over the summer. My lifts turned to shit, I'm pretty much permanently sore.

this doesn't sound like 'toughening up' to me

Those without handson experience are. Engineers with trade backgrounds are extremely valuable. You are confusing being retarded with not understanding problems from a manufacturing perspective. Calculations exist for a reason. Every time you drive over a bridge and it doesn't collapse you should thank an engineer. Every time a bridge/building collapses engineers go to jail or the trades people/inspector who did the work.

unless the bridge was built by women

Excavation. Litrerally 8 hours of shovel work a day, you will grow calluses like a mother fucker.

This desu lads. Kitchen is such a brutal place to work. I only did 8 hour shifts at dishwasher one summer but fuck me it was miserable. Really teaches u to appreciate work that will give u more back.

Physically its good for fitness but u will lose muscle. When ur working on ur feet like that all day u can't eat enough to gain weight, and muscle breaks down. Plus restaurant work is one of the few that don't allow for legit lunch breaks

Hes having a hard time reaching the keyboard.

>8 hour days are hard

Feckin hilarious

Stfu am at the perfect head to use ur balls as a speed bag

Can't get a job doing this unless you know someone or have lots of experience on land rigs. Very competitive.

Do you roughnecks hire plumbers on those rigs?

Sounds broken

True, pretty much any job that requires you to be clean shaved is legit

Move furniture. Literally high volume diddlies, ohp, curls and farmers walks up stairs. Plus you gotta be nice when you move the same dresser around the room 4 times just to put it back to the original spot

NEET

God this brings back some memories...

>Also architects are pussies who have no practical knowledge

Their job is to design something shitty that a customer wants, your job is to make their shitty design work.

t. Project Manager

Lol fuck I've delivered drywall for 8 years and it's way more demanding than that. Guys these days are just pussies

fuck shoveling, it feels ok for about an hour but then the pump goes off and you still have to shovel for hours with a shitty tool that weight little so you can't even use momentum to dig

Implying a barista isn't a fastfood worker

>environmentalists turning up dead
Storytime. Also, aussie?
