When your body can't keep up with your trade anymore, what comes next?

After decades of skilled work, you face a reality no one prepared you for: the physical demands that once felt manageable now feel impossible. Whether you're aging out gradually, or dealing with an injury that changed everything overnight, you're not alone—and you're not finished.

"Aging Out of Trades" is the first comprehensive guide written specifically for skilled tradespeople navigating career transitions. Drawing from real experiences of electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, carpenters, and dozens of other trades, this book provides practical roadmaps for transforming your hard-earned expertise into new opportunities.
Inside, you'll discover:

• How to leverage your trade knowledge for consulting, teaching, and inspection careers
• Why companies are hiring younger, less experienced workers-not you
• Real success stories of workers who rebuilt meaningful careers after retirement from the trades
• Step-by-step transition strategies adaptable to most trades
• Support systems and resources specifically designed for career transition

Whether you're injured from the trades or simply ready for less physical work, this book shows you how to honor your experience while building a sustainable future. Your decades of knowledge don't disappear when you hang up your tools—they become the foundation for what comes next.

Stop wondering "what now?" and start planning your successful transition from the trades to a career that works for who you are today.

Your expertise has value. Your future has possibilities. This book shows you how to connect them.
