There's a high demand for physical jobs worldwide, and many of these jobs can pay exceptionally well. Think of jobs like oil rig worker, underwater welder/construction, working in war zones as a contractor, and more. These jobs can be incredibly demanding, and they aren't for the feint of heart. But if you're willing to work hard, and put in the sweat equity, the financial payoff can be rewarding.

But there is a big downside - too many people in these jobs don't plan for the future. While the money is great, it typically doesn't last. Either you can't do the job anymore, or the jobs in that field dry up. 

So, what can you do? Should you avoid the work? 

If you want to take on a physically demanding job because of the pay - more power to you! But please make sure you plan ahead and understand what you're getting into. Especially avoid the de-railers we discuss further on.

Let's break it down on how you can prepare.
