Always hear this from:A conservative podcast/redpill bro who says college is a scam.Elder millennials who had office jobs all their lives are now telling young GenZ and their children to back breaking labor.Politicians from both sides.Redditors who make 200k a year that’s in a union but their post history indicates they live in South Carolina, Mississippi, Iowa etc….Very interesting for sure. Andrew Yang is not sending his children to work on a construction site no matter how much he projects the A.I doom and gloom, and Donald Trump just sent his son to N.Y.U.
real estate bros are seething.>reeee no you need to buy this house I'm "flipping" (I didn't repair any structural damage but I DID paint every room gray)
>>538528401You need to do SOMETHING be it a trade or a regular job or even if you don't want to work you at least need to do something. I get you guys want to lay around all day but you're going to regret having no accomplishments, nothing of personal value, I mean you guys give soiboys a lot of shit but those guys live full lives and explore their hobbies and have families which is way more than any chud NEET can say
I think it's cool to be able to swap between a blue collar and white collar job
The problem here is when there is finally a housing squeeze all the billionaires will buy it all up.Until there is a law to make corperations owning housing property illegal this will just get worse.
>>538528401the average 4channer realistically isnt gonna get a better paying job than that, if they get a job at all
I can see trades being wealthy in resources. I'm an engineer and every trade hates our profession, and anyone quoting work on my house wants to put the engineer tax on it because they assume I make mid to upper six figures. I don't, I just maintain my shit since I used to be a technician. Trying to get my HVAC replaced and plumber says he gets HVAC dirt cheap because the trades simply trade their services. HVAC guy tells me his mechanic keeps his car fixed for keeping his HVAC fixed. I'd tell people start in a trade and then go white collar.
>>538528401I've done both for years. both pay like shit, and both suck if it's an apartment you're going back to. Of course, certs/licenses will make you more money, but that's more schooling AND continuing education. Working all day, then night school, then sleep, then repeat for years. Then on weekends, you're doing all the apartment work you couldn't get done, like laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, and so forth. You will not have time for anything else, other than work, and chores. If I had a family, that'd be no problem. But a single guy? Fuck that. I don't need to work that hard, just to feed myself and cover bills. I'd rather drastically lower my cost of living, which is what I've done. >picrel

>>538529677You guys bitch like you're breaking your backs tho.
>>538529770Gotta keep up appearances. If the boss knew how easy i have it he would make me work harder. The lesser tradies are too dumb to understand this
>>538528401I worked in construction for a while, it was absolutely exhausting and ruined my free time. There is some good money, once you're trained, but you're likely to be surrounded by insufferable little boys.
Hard physical work is great for the back. Builds a strong core you will need later. Plumbers make $300/hr, general contractors make $75/hr min
>>538528401>back breaking labor.Wah wah you fucking pussy. DO IT ANYWAY. My god you are pathetic
>>538528401Ring on Pinky and Tattoos. Opinion void. Thanks for your Attention!
>>538528401jews are shilling the trade meme to White men while giving out the desirable tech and medical jobs to jeets. Jeets are also buying up all the hotels, motels, and gas stations. In 30 years, you'll find the remaining Whites are a proletarian class that has merged with Latinos. These will also be the only GOP voters.
>>538531736>merged with Latinoslol, keep dreaming pedro
>>538531736the chud was probably justified, normie boomer/gen x cunts like those can dish it but can never take it, looks like they finally made someone snap. In conclusion: based
>>538529461I'm an engineer and into trades. Let me explain.Engineers work in offices and development shops where they have a controlled system to design, build, test, refine, and finalize a project for deployment in the real world. The problem is, the real world is not a design/test facility, it's a house or a factory or some other place where what seems good in a lab is not good when shitty weather, vibrations, methheads, retards, assholes, animals, and other real world troublemakers are floating about, fucking things up.A good engineer knows how to build for real world applications and the problems thing brings. Most engineers are dorks that have never had to turn fasteners around a very chaotic situation with moisture and copper thieves fucking things up.This is why the handiman trade worker has disdain for engineers, We have to actually work with your terrible designs in the field. And it can get us killed, or maimed, because you thought it was a good idea to use 16mm instead of 1". Pinch them pennies, boy!
>>538528401IDK dude. You could just not be a faggot. Especially since you are a mutt, you actually have hope to own a house one day. Work hard for a few years to save up money then buy a house/start your own business. I just started my own landscaping business and am very excited about it
>>538531736You know you can go to college literally whenever the fuck you want. If you decide you actually know what you want to do, you can always go to college 1 or 2 years later.Encouraging people to take on 100k in debt to go to university when they don't even know what they want to do is the real jew advice
>>538532030You're not wrong. Boomer conservatives shilling the trade meme always leave out the hazing, drunkenness, criminality, and other low class behavior that goes along with having blue collar coworkers. People who went to college and work in an air conditioned office take it for granted that they won't come to work one day and find themselves getting jumped by their coworkers and forcibly held down while a plunger handle is inserted up their rectum. That's a "joke" you're supposed to "take like a man" for people who "work with their hands."Don't take the bait and fix their competency crisis. Let women and diversity mutts handle it.
>>538528401As a tradie fuck gen z and alpha apprentices.They are the most boring and useless fucks I have ever worked with.>OMG you cant smoke and drink on the job or say the Hard NiggerinoI told old boy at the union hall if he sent another pussy broccoli head or edgar I was going to fuck him up.
>>538528401For me the pipeline was>be born above average intelligence>graduate high school with shit grades because lol fuck it>learn carpentry>gitgud>do side jobs>go to college for civil engineering >get job out of college for $110k/yr>mog everyone because I actually know materials and how to get shit done with the plebs>get stamp (P.E.)>now make ~$250k/yr >can charge architectplebs $5000 just for my signature at 35.>have my own contracting company because I'm the only one in the u.s. that actually knows how to fix a particular problem without needing a million unionfaggots.The trades are not a meme. University is not a scam. Influencers are fucking retarded WHORES that get paid to tell you whatever their sponsors tell them to tell you. Independence is earned by will and will alone. There is no recipe.
>>538533237I fired all of the young guys that worked for me in 2023. I was paying zoomer highschool dropouts $25/hr to do simple ass shit. I tried with them for nearly a year but they could not unfuck themselves. It snows where I live and they thought it wasn't thier responsibility to shovel their cars out to get to work. All of them called in because "my car is stuck" so my brother and I bought them shovels and showed up to their spot. Lmao. The seething was glorious. "You can't just show up here, man". Here is a shovel, dig your car out and get to work. Your mother would be disappointed.
>>538529849>>538529677Im thinking about trying to get into it. I CANT go back to school, maxed out on loans, my old field has died entirely. Is it really good? How so?
>>538528401>Donald Trump just sent his son to N.Y.U.His sons will never have to work for a living so how is that relevant? You need a job that will make money, Barron Trump does not.
