Why would anybody choose construction for a living?

[DannoMight]

As a union laborer in Chicago I was making $35.20 per hr plus had phenomenal insurance. I did that for 10 years til things got slow.

On smoothie shop, we will have vitamins and other stuff also. We have 5 stores right now, and all are doing very well. You are right, it would be hard to make a living just selling smoothies. But some of our stores are selling 50 smoothies a day, along with a good amount of Vits, Ph's, weight loss stakes, etc. So far our stores are doing really well, so why not take a chance at it right. I have enough people telling me why things wont work (and have no experience doing it), I tend to listen to those that are doing it and doing it well. But hey, if it doesn't work out, you can say I told you so.

I don't personally own them, I am starting them with a guy who owns 4, and one of his other guys owns one. There is a location in Mequon and Glendale. My location is located in Appleton.

Nice! Mequon and Glendale are not far from me.

sometimes people have no choice...

This.

It's manual labor. Most people who do construction don't really have any other skills. Of course if you're a specialized trade (carpentry,electrician) you can make a somewhat decent living.

I could NEVER do it. I must be part Jewish in that sense
