Tradies really are the perfect slaves. They act like working 60+ hours a week and destroying their bodies for some corporate boss who sits on his ass is something to brag about. I don't think manual labor is something for dumb people, but my god, you will find the most retarded niggers you have ever seen in your life when you look at tradies. Broken back at 30? Chronic joint pain at 40? Doing nothing about it? All seen as virtuous things by these people
>>83106043>my collars bluuue and my neeehk is reeed>been workin like a dawg jus ta keep my family feeeed
>>83106043I know a guy who wrecked his body at 25. He talks about killing people constantly. I don't think he's going to make it to 30, either that or he'll end up in prison.
Tradesmen brag about making $90k while working 50-60 hours a week like it's something impressive.
>>83106043aren't real tradies (as opposed to right-wing influencers LARPing) mostly union and know full well that the boss would kill them for an extra buck without a 2nd thought?
Tradeniggers are the biggest cuckolds and sour grapes faggots, and I say this as a tradie. Office workers are a class above and get to fuck around half the day.
i've always thought people really aren't opposed to working with their hands or working hard, they just don't want to have to work under the supervision of salty boomers who are up their ass all the time spreading their own personal misery around
>>83106043Most tradies are knowers now and even when I was an apprentice it was the old heads telling me to take care of myself first.
>>83106043Yeah when I used to do trades I would get laughed at for following ppe, the guy a couple years later nearly cut his own leg off for using a chainsaw incorrectly. And in the place I am at now I saw a guy cut his hand wide open for handling sharp metal without gloves. So dumb.
>>83106043I'm a tradesman and none of that applies to me. I make a comfy 130k doing 40 hours a week, I don't strain my body and I do wear PPE.Mind you I do work for the railroad and here they will literally kick you off the job site if you don't have your PPE or work in an unsafe manner (and fire you if it's a recurring issue), I know things can be bad in construction and the like where there are no unions and not much in the way of rules or regulations.
In my 20s I thought working without ear plus made me cool. Now in my 30s I am deaf and struggle to hear people talking and they often get frustrated with me.It was not cool.
>>83106061>>83106043These are the prefect jobs of zoomies kek. I'm so glad they're locked out of tech and they slave away in the sun for me
>>83106305whatever helps you cope dude. I make 200k working less than 40 hours remotely, but unlike you I get paid to think. You wake up and wagie :)

>>83106043I've worked white collar for 10 years, and the trades for a lot less.It really depends where you work/live and what trade.>office wagie cagieYeah I can sit on my ass for the day and get fuck all done because i've automated it or no one actually knows how long shit should take or sit in endless meetings with no real outcome but hey...we had some cake. Or i can go and play a game on the side or learn some other tech skill.But i would just get super restless and i craved working with my hands, walking about, building something, talking shit etc.The office life was too soft, and i am very soft compared to most tradies.everyone is a little backstabbing bitch in the office so no one could talk straight.>tradie cagieI went into the trades, everyone shit talks(unless its srs time), everyone is a m8, you can rock up on a random site and dudes will offer water, iceblocks, PPE, chips, whatever they have is yours because the company pays anyway.I haven't had IRL friends in some 20 years, but the guys i work with every day now are close as i will ever get. We go out for dinner, do shit after work, on the weekends, will help out with anything you need.I don't work in the sun 90% of the time, i don't work hard most days, we talk shit between jobs, always new shit to learn and do, some trick some old fella is gonna let you in on, some weird shit to joke about.I earn more, i stress less, i enjoy the crew. The only thing I miss is AC, but on those days i find something that needs drawing up or done in the climate controlled room.less hours than office job and RDOs>>83106259>Most tradies are knowers now and even when I was an apprentice it was the old heads telling me to take care of myself first.thisSome of the oldies dont care for PPE besides some safeties or muffs on occasion but they dont say shit if you go get your gear and will often tell you to go get it. If it's a real restricted site then they will wear shit.
>>83106840me da used to be a cheng so he taught me the morale>the ship must continue sailingim an artfag though, so it only shows when im fixing up my bike
Crazy how non tradies think themselves so superior yet can't change a lightbulb... They would pay tradies to do something they could do with a youtube video, that's not a flex.
>>83107728It's very very very funny. Wires are all fucked up in their heads kek one second they're gloating they make more money doing less work, next second they're forking over said money to get essential things in their life fixed by tradies.
You shouldn't wear gloves around spinny things
I almost fell for the trade meme, almost. I've decided to go to community college instead. Fuck Boomers.
>>83107902Gross, absolutely disgusting
>>83106043that shit is only good if you either work at some unionised factory or doing undeclared work on the side to not pay taxes and make big monies like that
>work in trades>make more money in short term>able to retire in late 50's earmy 60's>end up with major illnesses in 50's>have to pay $1k or more per month to have medical insurance>spend a lot of time getting treated with painful treatments>look 100 years old by age 65 due to body being annihilated by hard labor and medical treatments from exposure to harmful chemicals, injuries from hard labor job, stress from hard labor, and lack of actual exercise>work in business/desk job>lesser pay>minimal exposure to harmful air>creates issues commonly treates by just working out>retire in mid 60's>already qualify fir Medicare, so less money out of pocket fir health care>only minor, common medical issues like hypertension, fixed by a slight bit of more cardio, healthy diet, or baby dose of hyoertension medication>look younger because body isn't beat up from hard labor, 100 medical treatments, and not being on 50 medicationsLong term >short term. Take the white collar pill.
>This image single-handedly scares Gen z & alpha>Millennials and boomers know dirty hands equal clean money
>Us millenials know the value of hard work!
>working in the trades was well worth it! I got to retire in my 50's>those zoomers don't know thr value of hard work!
>>83106043That's because there is low barrier to entry. I've known drug addicts making $600 a day drywalling, so just imagine how well you could do as a clean, responsible person.
>I wasn't afraid to get my hands dirty like zoomers are! Zoomers just sit at a screen and peck away at the "computer". You don't need a computer to live life! I'm living life at the fullest at age 57!
>>83106627Most people don't make 200k or even 130k including you so I think he's doing good.
>Anon, you need to stop being afraid if getting your hands dirty *cough*.>*cough* It is where the money is made. *cough*>It is tough workimg *cough,* in harsh and hazardous conditions *cough* but it is worth it to retire one year ago at 55>where's my inhaler?
>>83106043I'm earning 3500 euros a month at least
>Why are you afraid of getting your hands *cough* dirty, zoomie?>Don't *cough cough cough* you know that is where you make your money?>Dammit I coughed up blood again. *cough* but anyway, smart people would >arrrrah *cough*>as i was saying *cough cough*, if you were smart, you would have worked in the rr-*cough* trades
>>83106043Work as a drain layer and can confirm trades will fuck your body up.>t. Back surgery at 31
>It was the best decision in my life to work in the trades like a real man. I got to retire last year at 47. Am I'm living the dream!
>zoomers are afraid of real work! I stead of doing the trades, they'd rather sit alll day on a computer doing nothing. Nothing makes a real man like good ol' fashion manual labor. Because of it, my family lived well and I got to finally retire last year at 51!
>zoomie, it was a great decision to work in hard labor trades. I may have to have a lot of cancer treatments because of the hazardous environment I worked in, but it was worth it to retire 3 years ago at 51.
>>83106118This, don't get me wrong, it's an honest living but it's nothing to brag about, especially if you're doing more than 40 hours a week. Like fuck that shit, I buy tools to make life easier not so I can work faster.
>Working in the mines is one of the most perfect jobs. You value hard work, and you ggot paid a lot. If you properly saved into your 401k and IRAs, you can retire in you 50's like I did this year at 52.
>>83106043>>83108264Weren't millennials the soft ones 10 years ago?
>>83108375Millennials grew up and finally saw the value of hard work. Now, they're working the trades and making the madbux and will be able to retire at 59! This is the life, anon!
>>83106121>Office workers are a class above and get to fuck around half the dayDon't worry there is still a slave underclass in the office as well. A team of 10 will put 80% of the work on two people. Office culture is the biggest nepotism hellscape imaginable.
>>83106043The fuck do you get that dirty running a manual lathe!? If I get a few drops of rancid coolant on me it's fucking joever and my day is ruined
>the anon posting old farts with tradie captionsTopkek
>>83106043>trade>corporate bossare you mentally retarded or just a young child? the literal and unironically exclusive point of trade work is that you can't or don't want to work a normal corpo office job. saying paid manual labor is slavery is like saying posting on 4chan is journalism.
I'm not a tradie, but I've done blue collar physical work.The work itself is satisfying and could even be enjoyable, but it's totally ruined by the people you work with.Always guys that are intentionally anti-social, disgusting, or unsafe.As OP said, pride themselves on destroying their health and expect you to do the same to fit in.It's torturous to a smart/sentient person, and it doesn't have to be.Yet again the lowest common denominator ruining it for everyone else.
>>83106043It's even funnier when you realize all those "based and trad" whites who fell for it will be ruled over by the imported jeet class. Uneducated, poor, and dead by 50. The new dalits.
>>83106043You see, they have really lucrative qualified occupations anon, like plumbing, not the same as your put the fries in the bag ass.
>>83106118A lot of tradies are pro-union and hate richfags, but that doesn't mean they're progressive. They still view immigrants as scab labour suppressing their wages and taking their work.
>>83109410>I PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S LIQUID FECES 70 HOURS A WEEK TO PROVIDE FOR MY WIFE'S KIDS, SON. WHAT DO YOU DO, PUT FRIES IN BAGS? HAHAHAHA
>>83109481Do you have a house? a few cars? hmm, a girlfriend? Only for the forklift certified.
>>83109440Man fuck "progressives" I don't give a shit about faggots or whatever, I just wanna get a decent salary. Socially conservative and economically leftist would do numbers among the working class.
>>83106043The saddest part is that when they retire they almost never live very long after. Often it's work that prevents them from drinking themselves to death. If it's not the booze that kills them, it's the years of running on 3 hours of sleep, smoking a pack a day plus the wear and tear on their body.The justification for all of it is always their kids. Deep down they think of themselves as completely worthless, which is why they don't take care of themselves. It's all about the kids.
