Yeah they make good money but some of them be working literally all day on their feet and be up mad early in the morning.

You’re your own boss but you gotta bust your ass too!

My cousin started working at a Wood Mill in like 1998. Started from the bottom, almost min wage. No he's a manager. Been making 100k a year. During Covid when wood price skyrocketed, the mill gave every employee 1k for year they've been with the company. He got like 25k. He's only like 46. He's in a mini mansion. We golf carts and all. Just saying this to say we look pass a lot of good careers chasing the pretty jobs and titles.

I will say that this post is part of the larger issue with trying to nudge (young) people to certain occupations. Your cousin was able to do all this off a certain wage in a certain state (Louisiana).

Those wages have climbed far less than the COL, if at all.

Its funny bc the older men that spent their lives doing labor in the trades never wanted their children doing the same.

They knew the toll it took on their bodies and wanted easier lives for their kids.

Funny how things changed

It's always manipulation. The schools are telling you to go in the direction they want you to go. While they are handling business in the other direction. Governments want slaves not free civilians doing whatever they want to do. They are steady running farmers out of business, while giving farmers in Chile billions, and they are also letting billionaires buy up all of the farmland in this country.

Thats why I laugh at these tech guys saying people need to be plumbers and carpenters. The greed of these selfish fukks knows no bounds


"Yes we need you to toil away to build our data centers"

I think he's saying why would you help these europeans try to enslave the world by helping them build these data centers. They are trying to bring everybody into digital slavery. You can't do anything without going through them in the system they are trying to set up.

if the time comes to rise against them

a few hvac techs can press a few buttons and take down and entire data centers in less than a day

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

All blue collar brehs have 401ks/Pensions. Whoever told you this is a fukking liar. I probably have more in my 401k than most white collar workers who have been working for the same amount of time because of how much OT I've pulled in over the years.

By that time they will be locked out and won't have access. They completely close those data centers from the outside world when they are finished. I delivered to a construction site for 1 back in the day.

These dudes don't know, stall em out.

The only knock on blue collar lifestyle(currently a white collar breh but was a blue collar breh for 18 years)
Your body pays for it in the end
Shoulder, back and knees all have arthritis
That’s with me losing weight too
Some mornings can’t even get out of bed without hearing a pop and going

This is why there was the push to get white collar jobs.

The pendulum is swinging back now because the money is leaving the office jobs.
