Roofing looks like it can be pretty rough. I know a few guys in the trade and I've heard some brutal stories, just know your limits and play it safe and you'll be fine.

Roofing sucks, but if you don't have any trade skills it's a way to make a decent buck in the short term.
That's how I first got into the contracting business.
Your body is in for a rude awakening though, it doesn't matter how good of shape your in, roofing pits a whole new kind of stress on your body.

buy yourself some steeltoes boots, good jeans, long sleeve shirt, gloves, hat and a few bandans to put in the hat to cover your neck and face from the sun. ENJOY really not that much of hard work just harsh conditions.

gotdamn I'm not quite sure you realize what your getting yourself into.. roofing aint no joke boy, that's some serious elbow grease.
My step pops was a roofer he would come home halfway dead and dark af from the sun burning his ass all sweaty and smelling rank.
The pay is decent, but i can't imagine your "soul crushing" Job being any worse than roofing.

I sit in front of a computer all day, write a few reports, fu#k around with a few spreadsheets. Nothing crazy. Release packages to customers every once and a while. The pay where I’m at is decent, it’s just becoming a real pain in the ass to be honest. I get no sense of satisfaction at the end of the work day. I just feel happy that it’s done for the day. Oh. And my work schedule is ******ed too. I switch between nights and days on a weekly basis. I think it’s killing my brain cells.
