I have a BS in Physics and an MS in mechanical engineering. I also read non-fiction profusely on economics, architecture, investing, history and virtually anything STEM related. Whenever anyone, male or female, asks me what I do for a living, I tell them I'm a welder or an auto-mechanic. Men are always interested to further the conversation after that point. Women almost never do, and almost always talk down to me as if I'm an ape or a Neanderthal. More than a few times, I've had a woman say to me during large group settings something to the effect of "You really should let the educated folks speak on this topic." or "You sound like a welder who wishes he'd gone to college and studeid (fill in the topic of conversation here)." I just smile and nod and bask in knowing my money and sanity are secure.

It's not the money aspect of blue collar that turns women off, it's the status. They don't want men they (or society) perceive as low class or low status. Which honestly speaks a lot about how little our society values the men that make it work. The blue collars do all the thankless, dirty, dangerous, but necessary jobs, and the white collars get all the recognition and status. Mike Rowe (from "Dirty Jobs") talks about this a lot on his channel.

As a young intellectually gifted guy I was destined to have an academic career. I got a university degree, but I became depressed on that career path. So I decided switch it up and went to trade school. I now work in forestry/nature management, and I love the physical labour. I still am a man of culture, but I come home dirty and sweaty. That combination of brains and brawn certainly gets women interested. One thing that makes them lose their interest is my relatively low salary. I don't care that much about the money myself, I could do better, but at the cost of the fulfillment I get out of my work daily. I did find a woman who respects all that and still looks up to me. I am a lucky man.

As a blue-collar guy, that has 6 years of post-secondary education, that earns more than 95% of white-collar workers, and having gone to University, I can tell you, that college does the exact opposite of teaching "critical thinking". University is a conformity mill today. I've traveled on 5 continents and know how to build wealth on my own. I'd never work a white-collar job, and it would be a pay cut to take one.

Britney also has 80k in debt and will take 50 years to pay it back. The blue collar worker lives his best life without the toxicity of Britney who has no intergrity

[thomasmurray]

I usually agree with you, but not today. I have engaged closely with my children’s teachers, and this at very highly rated schools. Additionally, several of my friends were married to teachers. In my experience, they are NOT critical thinkers, operating largely by rote. I was often unpleasantly surprised by their lack of general knowledge, and even knowledge on their areas of supposed expertise. I even had one teacher admit that if a student asked her a question to which she did not know the answer, she would just make something up. After all, they won’t know the difference.

Smarter? No. I work in white collar industry and recent college grads, men as well as women, are NOT very smart, can’t think critically, and have little or no interest outside themselves. This has made my hiring decisions very challenging.

[ellenroehl]

I worked with highly educated women. (PhD). All we talked about at work was what celebrity got shot/married/divorced or what happened on some low brow tv show. Intellectual, intelligent discussions, my ass.

[HE]

Blue collar guys make the world function. When you need a plumber or auto mechanic, you REALLY need one. I have a graduate degree in English. No one has ever phoned me and said, "Please come to my house immediately and explain this passage from Shakespeare!" I envy my friends who can build and fix things. Without them, society collapses.

[thrilla]

8:12 but you ARE telling men to leave the trades effectively. The problem is that the women who are educated think that they are better than the men who are in the trades

[quasidoc]

Again, we (men) accepted women as they were/are for thousands of years and only really asked to be what you are, nothing more. Now I believe the changes in society and women's ambitions are all great, but now (if the roles are to continue as is) its your turn to love without condition. Putting it on us to change MORE in light of that unconditional love we give just doesn't jive. Sure there will be some men who are looking to elevate their existence to appease a women but most us will just be done. You go girls! 🤨

[gerardcrilly]

What a load of bollox. If a woman doesn’t appreciate the effort in the workplace and the resulting pay check and a man who does his best for her. She doesn’t deserve you. End of story!!

[ked]

Every blue collar guy I know is married, so a lot of women must either be interested in blue collar guys, or don't care about careers.

[voxman]

This naive belief that college degrees are any mark of intelligence or culture and not simply expensive indoctrination certificates is amazing to hold in 2023

[devilsadvocacy]

I’m as educated (lawyer) as any of the women who look down on blue-collar men. I have represented enough tradesmen to gain only the utmost respect for them.
I can’t say the same for the typical liberal-arts or gender-studies majors, and a good number of PhDs I’ve met. Half of those can’t change a light bulb

[ruminantmelanoid]

I'm 57. When I was a young man, this used to be called being a renaissance man or a jack-of-all-trades (in certain parts of the black community it was called being "thorough"). Whatever it was called, there was an emphasis on being comfortable in a wide range of settings and having, at least, a cursory level of knowledge on a wide range of topics. Such men rarely had problems with women.

[Paul-uwus]

I, as a man who worked with both his hands and his brains, will always be friends with blue collar men before white collar men. I trained as an engineer and discovered that college educated people tend to be smug and snobbish. If a woman doesn't appreciate who I am just because of my job then I don't want her.

[smonroeh]

More education doesn't always equal smarter

[iacangelofinancialgroup]

I'm a white collar guy who has blue collar envy. I respect those guys so much. I watch them do their thing. It often doesn't go the way they expected and they figure a way. They are my heroes.

[williamjones]

I found college constricting and constipated. I had traveled a lot as a military brat, and Penguin books put me ahead of almost all the undergrad material. College is overrated, overpriced, and obsolete. I look forward to the end of brick and mortar colleges in the next couple of decades. Post grad degree here. I know how empty it is.

Brittany too is overrated and overpriced. I hope John finds a nice waitress somewhere, who is fertile and wants a family and has not been indoctrinated into artificial hostilities and arrogance.

[qmulus]

You’re making blue collar men sound like Homer Simpson.

I’ve had some of the deepest intellectual conversations with homeless people. Meanwhile, some of the most vapid people I’ve ever met were college graduates.

A degree means nothing.
