construction worker

Construction workers do lots of different things from demolition, commercial projects, highway construction, tunnel repairs, and residential construction. The job is demanding, hot, and can be cold and wet- as a construction worker you must be ready for whatever the call is. There is no level of education required to enter, however, in some jobs like a plumber or electrician you do need a license. Strength and endurance are abilities needed for this type of work.
