Everyone can't be a plumber.

In fact one of the worst "trade offs" of the trades is they can very much be a young mans game.

It gets real hard to sling water heaters up/down tight stairs or pull cable in a 100+ degree attic into your 50s.

Yes, but not for the reasons you say. It’s because if everyone is a plumber, you don’t need plumbers.
