Not all money is good money. Quality is why our teachers told us to be white collar.
Nothing beats spending your entire workday watching netflix and bullshyting in your air-conditioned office or working from home. Those blue collar dudes dont get this.


Yes. I’ll co-sign the OP.
I’m an IT professional [low 6-figures], My homie is a Barber; He’s make more than I do barring incentives. The incentive I have may out-weigh his income; i.e. TSP [401k] matching, Health Care, Paid Leave, etc.
I’m proud of him. He’s striving in his lane.

what if I told you that if you have the right blue-collar job you can bullshyt for half of the week literallyNot all money is good money. Quality is why our teachers told us to be white collar.

Trying to sell the dream of blue collar millionaire life is no different then selling the dream of white collar life lmao
But most importantly y’all arent addressing 2 key things:
1- A lot of brehs can’t exist in a corporate environment. That’s not even a diss it’s just facts. I’m in the dmv. We don’t have to code switch. Where I work is damn near 50% black and nggas (and whites) dress however they want damn near. Unless you are in the dmv or NY and a handful of other places, you wouldn’t have that. So of COURSE y’all will see white collar jobs as the boogie man, and skew to ‘yeeea, fukk white collar. fukk college’. As black women are now lapping black men professionally
2- Ngga, I don’t wanna actually work! Nggas always romanticize blue collar like you aren’t literally getting your hands dirty and working crazy hours. Romanticizing ‘running my own business’ like you want be running your own business …and working much harder for the same bread
Oh and 3, you don’t have a 401k. Something all these modern anti-white collar brehs never bring up
Dudes turn to the street because they arent provided with opportunities. So many white fukkups, that arent cut for a cooperate environment gets jobs because of their dad or they inherit his company. So many incompetent white folks in executive positions, running shyt. So many thoughtful, well spoken, charming brothers in the system or walking around with felonies they caught in their youth.The issue is a lot of brothers give up and turn to the street bcuz they believe only a corporate job can't provide them the life they want.

Crazy how things have flipped. We use to look down at Barbers, Repairmen, Plumbers, Carpenters and other blue collar workers. I'm a 80s baby, a lot of shot for the pretty, clean suit and tie jobs. Luckily I got in the IT field when I did. But I have a older that has been cutting hair for 20+ years. And a cousin that's been a plumber and another that's been at a wood mill for 20+ years. All are balling. Been balling. I'm talking season tickets to the Saints. Nice homes and vehicles.
Another advantage I've learning from my barber and cousins. They're able to earn money on the side. Tax free money. I guess IT can do a little tech work outside of work, but you damn near have to be legit for people to trust you.
