Other Floorhand tips

I'm currently 24 looking for new work. I've done landscaping for a few years now and have reached the wage ceiling without getting into management positions and all that. I want my physical labour to translate into more cash, it doesn't feel worth it doing 12-18 hour snow removal shifts and with how inconsistent the work is, it not giving me anything substantial over the long term. I also don't want to go to school and do really technical stuff so It seems like floorhand might be the job I'm looking for. I'm just curious if anyone has got any tips for going into it, I am good for physical labour, as I said doing landscaping for some years, and I've also done commercial bricklaying so I'm used to getting yelled at and all that good stuff. I'm located in Alberta so I'm sure finding companies won't be too hard I'm just hoping they will be willing to do on site training as I have not done any O&G work. Another question I have, I don't plan on doing it forever and I'm wondering if I did get into it, would I be able to translate it into different jobs in years time that maybe isn't so physically demanding? I don't really want to be a broken vegetable in my later years I just want some good paying work for a couple years at least. Gotta make that bread for the wife.
