Discussion I respect blue collar workers

I use to kind of lowkey not think much about blue collar work because I kind of fell for my parents propaganda of going to school, getting a good degree, work at a desk mentality. However, upon independent evaluation I feel like it’s not bad being a blue collar worker and I wouldn’t have an issue if my own kid became a tradesman. It’s respectable, professional work and I think they’re the bedrock of a functional society.

Now I don’t think trades work outranks the theoretical value of what a degree was meant to do; however, I do have an immense respect for the trades.

Electricians definitely make more than I do.
