Stonemasonry.
Literally the oldest trade in the world, respected by all, and working with natural elements. Also usually outside so you don't become a pasty weirdo and working with heavy shit all day so you become strong.
Bricklaying is a strong second for reasons similar to stonemasonry.
Don't let anyone tell you that those trades aren't for white men and white men should only go into the 'smart' trades like electrical or HVAC. Stonemasonry and bricklaying can be just as technical and actually require a lot of skill to create a good product, the world needs smart people to go into these trades.
I was an electrician for about 3 years and fucking hated it. You're always inside, never really that physical and when you are it's because you're crawling through an attic or some horrible shit. Also your hands always have little cuts all over them. I'm actually moonlighting with my mate doing electrical work on the side this week and I'm remembering how much I hated it and how glad I am I switched trades.
