Бетоняр

Had a chat with a mate last week who's been doing concrete work up in Manchester for about eight years. He reckons the average bloke on his crew is somewhere between 25 and 40, and they've not had anyone younger than 22 or older than 45 walk onto the site and last more than a few months. Which got me thinking about whether age is actually the barrier or whether it's something else, like raw fitness or just the culture not being welcoming. I tell my clients a lot that the hardest part of any career move isn't finding the work, it's being honest about what you can handle day to day. And honest answer: concrete is brutal on the body. Knees, back, shoulders, the lot. So I imagine if you're 45 walking onto a site alongside twenty-somethings who can power through a twelve hour shift, there's likely some unspoken pressure there. But I also wonder if some crews actually prefer older workers because they're more reliable, less likely to skive off, know how to take direction. anyone here actually done this job starting past 40? And was it the age that made it hard or just the physical side?

мені 27, працював бетонником і оператором преса, зараз вчуся на кранівника. хтось каже що вже пізно міняти напрямок в такому віці, але мені здається що це дурня. як насправді, вік реально проблема чи просто відмазка тим хто боїться починати?
