I'm 56 and way overweight. I was between jobs a while ago and found a temp 
gig to help cover. It involved replacing hundreds of APs in a military base, 
which involved working on ladders, racking and stacking controllers, and 
hauling ladders all around the base (there wasn't always parking near the 
buildings we were working on...)

I did 8 weeks of that, walking 20-25K steps and doing all hands-on work 
after years of management. I was proud of myself for being able to do it, 
but wouldn't want to have to do that for a living again!


... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.
