While people are young and smart, working 50-60 hours a week is no big deal. You can sleep when you get old - over 40!

It is tough to do the same job the whole time. It goes a lot faster, and you can earn yourself a fat bonus.

A lack of influence over the planning and arrangement of your own work can give rise to conflicts within the company and on building sites.

It's great fun to take the mickey out of the journeyman. It's absolutely brilliant when they flip right out.
