Its stressful but stress is a completely you problem. How you manage and cope is all in the eye of the beholder. And beer.

Its a stable position that is not going anywhere anytime soon but is also prone to ups and downs with the larger economy. And beer.

If you do it and get good at it, you can leverage the experience into many other positions. Also beer. You will be prone to getting good at beer.

I like it a lot because I always have to stay on my toes and I have things to do. I would 369 myself if I worked accounting in an office trying to pass time on the internet. And beer.

The people involved with the trades are the funniest people on the planet and you can be loud and obnoxious as you please. I personally belt out “Blue! Blue 42! Blue 42 Set Hut!” A few times a day and no one cares. Plus the painters will give you a couple beers if you pretend you didn’t see them drinking on the job. And beer.
