This. I can imagine you could work at your own choices after putting in some time learning the trade. There are no doubt lots of people out there who have smaller jobs that might involve some creativity that would be too small for larger companies.
As for me, I wouldn't do it. I worked as a laborer in Westchester County, N.Y. at twenty years old. I would have to be young again to do something like that. I felt lucky to have been given the job of scheduling equipment & materials on job sites after some time.
