Enduring 45 years of that sh*t is f***ing amazing, that's why he earns a fortune.

45 years of experience.

Wait, isn't it more like: 5 years to just watch, 10 years for one explanation, 15 years to try once, 20 years to assist, 25 years to learn alongside your master's son... all unpaid with room and board? You came to learn, not to work, right? It's like a private academy!

With 45 years of experience, he's probably got insane connections, so he gets steady work and that income makes sense.

Surviving that long means he's truly a strong one.

That's such unnecessary meddling (오지랖). He's recognized as an ace veteran (고인물) on site and probably finds satisfaction in it... Would the #1 ranked player on an RPG server quit the game? Lol.

No one thinks he's just doing daily labor alone for that money, right? He's at least a foreman (십장).

45 years from age 31 to 75... that's no joke.

Someone's gonna see this and think 'I should become a bricklayer, I'll get rich!' LMAO.

First, just carry bricks for a year. After a year, they'll teach you the skills.
