The look on every painter, plumber, electrician, or carpenter's face when they walk into my house... 
.
Them: Man this is a nice house. What do you do for work?
Me wearing pajamas, drinking a beer, and haven't shaved in 6 days: I'm at work right now.
Trades are dope for sure, but they're not for everyone.
Nor is college.
Choose your path wisely, brehs.

This is 100 percent facts. I have 3 friends that been in the office work for 15+ years. They work like 4 days a week. They go in or work from the crib whenever they like. Get every single holiday off like elementary school...Columbus Day, Presidents’ Day lol. And around Christmas basically get 2 whole weeks off. All making 100k + a year.
Crazy benefits and take paid vacations.

Deregulate the market!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone That is human and having a social life, the corporations want them to suffer. You want these @Chris.B sexual deviants be the normal middle class worker nowadays, and that's sad.
It’s really by design. Most of the adults in my life did everything in their power to keep us ignorant of tradework, even though they knew it paid well

It's funny how growing up dudes who worked in the trades would tell me go to school.
This mechanic I used to know would tell me be the guy who designs cars, that's where the bread is.
I think blue and white collar work is very similar. The things people don't tell you is how competitive both are and how much nepotism is involved especially when it comes to getting a good job.
On LinkedIn and indeed, it felt like recruiters would hit me up every other day for shyt position. And everyone I know that got good jobs always had a connection or something.
Young Americans are losing faith in college and turning to skilled trades
The cost of college has increased at a rate that far outpaces inflation, with data showing that prices have surged by 135% from 1963 to 2021 across all types of schools.
Few people can cover the costs with savings or wages, which explains why the average student borrows $32,362 to obtain a bachelor's degree at a public university, according to the Education Data Initiative.
Debts can be even higher for some, with the average balance among students with federal student loans coming in at $37,853, and the total overall average balance at $40,681, including private loans.
Being burdened with so much debt has left many with regrets. Of those with student loans, 68% say their education wasn't worth the damage their debt has done to their well-being.
