I’m a farmer and if it wasn’t for us you guys wouldn’t be eating so if you think my job is low on the scale than you remember when you go to the store to by food it didn’t get there on its own. Farmers and Truckers keep this country going.

[missmoneypenny]

Blue collar workers deserve more respect than they get .

[.BANDIT]

No one pushed the Trades when I was in high school. All they pushed was College.

[Jimsocky]

Shoutout to all farmers, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, handymen, janitors, grocery workers, all of em💪

[cbarfoot]

I'm tired of "professionals" acting like their profession is more important than someone else's. When your toilet is plugged and your water isn't running you will realize a plumber is priceless. ALL professions are There is no hierarchy.

This is literally the South Park special where all the low end blue collar handymen get super rich because all the college grads are deemed worthless and can’t fix or build anything.

Blue collar worker here. Power plant Operator. I make over $100, 000 a year, i am a home owner, i drive a tesla and i take regular vacations. You can have a great life in the trades.

I’m 73 years old and I’ve never loved a job in my life, but I’ve always had one. Since when do you have to love a job to do it?

[fredselbman]

After my 4 years as an Infantry Marine, I worked many construction jobs, Drywall hanger / Taper, Plasterer, Carpenter and Concrete finisher, I’m 63 now and retired, and those skills served me well in life ! 🇺🇸

[Maske]

White Collar Jobs will go away before the Blue Collar Jobs. I say this as a White Collar Teacher.

[bobneedham]

My son is an apprentice plumber and I couldn’t be more proud. I’m a lawyer and he chose his path.

[jmcmike]

So nobody remembers 50 years of blue collar friends and family telling you “don’t do this! Go to school!”? That was just me, was it?

[ethanbeshea]

I’m a 27 year old and a USMC vet going through welding school and if you’re not willing to suffer a little bit through life for success then you’ll never succeed in life

[chrisKelly]

Construction worker here... MainLine Infrastructure such as water sewer storm drain... $67k, 3 weeks vacation, full benefits, and home every evening by 6pm for my family. Not necessarily living what most people would consider " The Dream Life", but it's 100% everything I dreamed of having as a child. A decent life, a home and a family. By age 45 my home will be paid off and I honestly don't "need" for anything. It's all about how you look at it. I'm blessed

[Anne_Onymous]

America's regressing.
Anyone paying attention can see it.
Our culture is decaying while our government is busy fighting wars and catering to non-citizens. Sad.

[johnnywilkman]

The difference is, people in the past used to do physical labor jobs and still be able to get a house now that's almost impossible

[mtsEnrique]

My godfather is a career electrician. All 4 of his sons didn't go to college to be electricians. They make a darn good living, and I've had conversations with them about how I can't stand when people turn their noses up at working class men. If we lost every tic toker, ig fitness model, and influencer in a thanos snap, the world would go on. If we lost every electrician, plumber, and construction worker, we would crumble

[lisahinkofer]

Skilled labor. It’s what makes the world go around

[katarinashackley]

I dont see anything wrong with someone not wanting to be in the trades, but end the stigma. I love that my husband works construction and can fix things! He also stays in shape and we own rental properties and make a good living. If that's not right for someone thats fine, but all jobs deserve respect.

A friend of mine has a son who was deciding between trade school and college…..and I encouraged him to go to trade school, and get a skill. If he wanted college, he could always go, and with a skill he could pay his way through. He became a lineman, had job offers before he ever graduated, and after graduation, at 19 yrs. old, was knocking down over $100K a year. It’s tough work, but he loves the outdoors, loves the work….and because he was a hard worker, became a crew chief overseeing other workers. He now makes more…is very responsible…and is doing better financially than most of his friends who went to college. He also has no debt.
He made it work.
