@@AlexS-oj8qf true but i mean blue collar work like bus drivers (my dad), supermarket workers (my aunties) - jobs that you don't need to go to college or be particularly educated to do, and therefore pay less and are sometimes looked down upon as "working class labour" or whatever. like during the peak of this virus the jobs deemed essential were mostly blue collar work that's normally associated with less pay and the working class lol, while people with jobs such as accountacy (my uncle) didn't/don't have to go because of the nature of their work

[@softmoxymuffin2351]

being blue collar really shouldnt be seen as a lesser job. no job should be seen lesser when you depend of their services... i do feel bad for some people who find fulfilment in bluecollar jobs and are made to feel bad about it or defend themselves. if good honest work makes someone happy and provides for their needs then let them and support them, they're skills are still very much needed.

I went to college and grad school but you know what life happens and I have never worked a day in the field I really wanted to because I ended up in offices and sales. I also had every service job you could have in college, hostessing, food running, cashier, stock girl etc. Let me tell you there’s contractors out there making more than doctors. Making as much as the architects they work for or more. There are all different types of education. I had kids I went to college with who couldn’t change a lightbulb because they didn’t know the light fixture came off. Who went days with no toilet waiting for a plumber because the chain fell off the flusher and they didn’t know the lid came off the toilet tank. Didn’t know how to cook or do laundry it was funny but sad because these were 18-22 year olds who were entirely helpless, but really book smart. Bottom line is choose a career you’re good at. A career that pays a living wage at least cuz this country is stingy. I worked my entire way through school with people looking down on me behind those counters never batting an eye because my GPA was higher than they could count and I could take care of myself in any situation from fixing my toilet, to a sconce, to a shelf, to an alternator. That’s what this world should really be instilling in people education and common sense. Guess what a nurse can make $20 an hour so can a masonry worker.

A bit of a tangent, but there's a pretty big misconception about wages of a lot blue-collar work. Skilled trades are vital and in pretty high and stable demand. Electricians, plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, etc usually make good money, assuming they have legitimately recognized licences or certifications. It's standard to feel that they over charge, or at least that they charge way more than it would cost to DIY, and how could that be true if they also are poorly paid? The confusion is in lumping everyone who works with their hands. On that point it's hard to disagree. I've been a high school teacher for 10 years and have a 2 year old, so I have done my fair share of dreaming and studying goals and aspirations for young people. I'd be more than happy if our baby boy, or anyone, became an electrician, no need for a degree for that. I would though, hope that I can teach him to aim higher than mowing lawns.

[@theneoenigma2094]

As a carpenter, I usually say that we charge the amounts we do because not just any person can do what we can, and do it properly and to code. We have the knowledge and supplies to build a whole damn house in less than a week. There are not many people who are properly licensed in most areas that can do stuff like that.

[@insertcreativityhere9314]

Blue collar jobs are necessary. You can look down on a plumber the day you don't need to call them in to fix your toilet. You can look down on a janitor when you don't call them to clean your office and you can look down on a mechanic the day you don't need to go to them to fix your muffler.

What I like about blue collar jobs is what little money you make, you make right away out of high school. With more experience, you make more money. Living within your means, you can save up enough money to buy a house, or go to college. It gives you some freedom and independence. When you go straight to college after high-school, you invariably get saddled with some degree of debt, that hangs over your head whether or not you graduate. If you find out you're incompatible with your major, or that you Want to go blue collar, it's harder to switch over because of that debt.

My dad is blue collar, my mom is white collar. My dad does make more from his job... however... he is 54 and his body is already breaking down. He's fallen off a roof, broken his leg, had a mini stroke, can barely see, and is extremely sleep deprived all the time. He works 2-3 jobs and makes well over 100k a year... but he won't be able to retire for at least a decade.On the other hand, my mom (an elementary school teacher) is mentally exhausted but physically in good health at 56. She can work another 10-15 years without worrying about a physical injury on the job.

Nothing wrong with blue-collar brother is also nothing wrong with wanting more for your kids. All the options are out there. Just give it to them.

alyssa caeytano your second sentence shows what’s wrong with blue collar work. Not to mention blue collar work is generally more dangerous.

[@Ebizzill]

one day youtube won't exist... and one day the internet would crash... then all hail blue collar services!

[@avalonsignoraalmas6150]

Neither of those things seem likely. How is KZbin just gonna disappear, and how is the internet just gonna unanimously crash? Also, KZbin and the internet are not maintained by blue collar people, so why would they be needed more if they stopped working?

Being a blue collar guy for the last ten years and transitioning into white collar I can tell you one thing. Im getting paid the most ive ever been paid yo do the least amount of work. I will NEVER go back to blue collar work.

Okay some people do not know the different between entry level working class jobs, blue collar, and white collar. Entry level working class jobs: Starbucks barista, janitor, office/hotel housekeeping, waitress.. basically jobs that do not require even a HS diploma, just a pulse. Blue collar work you need an education. My husband went to school for 4 years to be an electrician. White collar work requires college most of the time, these are your bankers, lawyers, accountant, etc.

I think you should know the basics of both blue and white collar jobs. Just seems the most logical.

Many blue collar jobs pay a hell of a lot more than white collar jobs.

[@youare5907]

And they also involve having higher risk factors.

[@avalonsignoraalmas6150]

No they don’t. A plumber is not going to earn more than a lawyer.

Try a trade, W ork with your hands, it's the most empowering thing Back in the 70s, my mom used to tell us:" ya never seen a poor plumber or electrician...triple time on weekends " lol

[@jlo2715]

I think at this point it’s not so much as whether or not it’s lesser, but more, what’ll get you more money in an economy where things cost a lot more now a days. Sure some trades are pretty well paying, but not every blue collar job will be. Not to say all white collar jobs are super well paying either, but it’s kinda case by case.

[@DL._.]

Majority of the people who are in white collar jobs went to college and spent $15,000-$20,000 in the 4 to 6 years of education vs someone who are in blue collar jobs learn a skillset either for free or paid $1,000 to learn these trade and my point is even if few who are in a blue collar job want to transfer to the white collar job (“like myself”) they have a skillset that would set them up for life vs someone who went to college for 4 to 6 years

Tradesmen can see the the blue collar bias after the first few sentences. That's why you get to pay more for that addition or remodel. Friend just paid $250k to remodel a small house and no addition in LA. The job looked like a 80k job at most.

Blue collar workers are essential to society functioning, but honestly they picked one of the few White Collar professions that are essential to argue against, they picked a Doctor.

[@theneoenigma2094]

If you’re in the union in a decent environment, you can make at least 80k a year, if not more. Yeah it can be high risk, but it’s not the same thing everyday, and it’s not sitting at a damn desk.

skilled trades people can make more money than doctors and lawyers. plumbers, electricians, and carpenters make googobs of money per hour. don't let it be a multi location company with several skilled laborers on staff and contracted buildings? it's a wrap! it's a good living and you don't have to pay expensive malpractice insurance.
