Why are trades pros always stressed?

Serious question. Why everyone in the trades living like everything is an emergency? Plumbers, HVAC, sparkies, GCs, construction guys, it doesn’t matter the trade. Everyone’s running behind, putting out fires, and dragging stress home. Same story if you’re on the tools or running the company. Everybody seems on edge. What’s the problem with our field?

Trades pros are carrying a lot, sometimes literally, and growth can turn into burnout fast. If you’re smoked by 3pm, it’s not “lack of motivation,” it’s usually early burnout.>!This is one of the main reasons we built this space. So we can FINALLY talk about it without shame or judgment. We are humans, not machines.!<
