Society paid for my lengthy uni education so joke’s on them.
But I am sorry for people who get absolutely ripped off in other countries like the US etc.
It sure would be nice to have more open minded, diverse people working blue collar. It’s exhausting quietly listening to all these conservatives at work and feeling like I’m the only one who gives a damn.
same with public school custodial dept. i make over 20 an hour with no degree. but I’m pretty capped now because I’ve been here 7 years and the union isn’t strong enough to leverage the QOL raises we need and deserve.
i highly prefer blue collar but I also have medical limitations and there’s just not enough regulation for things like extreme heat in these physical type jobs, which has kept me from seriously considering working construction.

It’s still generally true, it’s just the gap is much smaller than it once was.
It’s always a question of whether it should be worth it for an individual, but on average it will pay for itself over the course of a career.
True. Its sad because the construction field is wide open and there just are not enough workers, zero degree required.

Vocational stuff should definitely get an equal footing with academics.
Plumbers, electricians, etc.
They don’t because universities are absolutely rinsing it on the tuition fees.
