Anyone else both an officecel and a tradie?

I'm WFH now at least, and saved up money to buy a semi truck and have someone run it for me. We'll see how this goes. if it goes really well and I can buy more trucks, time to enter tradie life full-time.

Usually only in porn.

Some scenes you will see the dude play a plumber; other scenes a manager of an office.

Project manager in commercial construction. Most of the time I'm in the office, but have put in tons of hours on the jobsite helping out doing whatever it takes to get the projects done.

I include business-owning tradies as tradies as well. some plumbers own their own business and hire others.

but ifhe himselfstops plumbing, is he no longer a tradie? just an officecel running a plumbing business?

Glorified tradie crew. I'm in IT and some days I'm in the office working on clients systems remotely, and other days I'm onsite racking servers etc.

Partial office cell for work, partial tradie.....Project Controller & Scheduler for Large Commercial Construction.

Tradie in my personal life......my hobbies are pretty tradie. Has easily saved me 10's of thousands of dollars in the last 10 years, let alone since buying a house.
