If you think carpentry is easy on the body I can tell you’ve never worked for or as a carpenter before.
In either case carpentry is a massive world. There is a lot more to being a carpenter than making furniture. If that’s all you’re doing as a carpenter than I would argue that you aren’t much of a carpenter and your experience is highly limited.
To me this is like calling yourself a computer engineer because 2 hours a week you write Visual Basic code in an excel spreadsheet.
This isn’t brick laying or plastering. Carpentry is an easy job on the body.

What is so bad with plastering? I would have thought that one isn’t too bad.
The pressure to get it done now now now. The overwork. Ignoring safety regulations because they’re fucking annoying.
It can be easy on the body provided one has cash to get and wear safety gear. Too many people depend on a cheap employer for their safety.
Buy good gear. Use jigs. Protect hearing.
Good gear doesn’t save your knees, hips, shoulders, and wrists.
US defaultism strikes again, is this carpentry as in building houses or carpentry as in building furniture?
Furniture or whatever you can make in a single location like garage or maker space, no engineer thinks of joining construction work
There are some days tho dude.
