There is a give and take with everything. Everything has its cons. Those men wanted their kids to be paid well with stable employment. College was also more affordable. They didnt want them to be unemployed or struggling to get by with ridiculous debt.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

what percentage of all these tradespeople are out here stackin bread and outstripping desk jockeys
if the pay distribution is tight already, it doesn't justify the big exodus presented in this thread
