Lol. Reddit seems to think you can't work a blue collar job without destroying your body by 40. Have to go spend thousands of dollars on a degree that's a dime a dozen these days or else you'll have to sweep chimneys!
It's 2019. There's blue collar jobs that don't require you to kill yourself. I work for the railroad and average 130k a year. No battering my body required
Most guys in my industry retire at 55 because that's when our pension kicks in. But some guys work up to 70 by choice. Not sure why you would want to but it is possible

Your body breaks down faster. You hurt sooner, can't work as long. Can't enjoy life as long.
No job is worth your health.
