Some 16 year old told me he had worked a full week nonstop, so he was told he had to take the next five days off. I told him that was good.
I told him that most people will not make it in today’s economy when $150,000 is considered middle class. He replied that $150,000 is a lot of money. I said sure, but the average American salary is around $65,000.
Then I asked him what kind of work he did, and he said he did some low level blue collar welding. I told him blue collar work is terrible. He responded that welders can make over $100,000 a year.
I told him that blue collar work is for low-autism score, uneducated people and that the adults in those jobs are losers and people who messed up their lives. I also said blue collar work is fun when you’re a kid, but the adults doing it are there because they’re losers.
It turned out that three blue collar workers had been listening to our conversation and told the kid not to listen to me because I didn’t know what I was talking about.
I then told the kid that when he grows up, he will realize people look down on blue collar workers for a reason and that blue collar adults are not the kind of people he should want to know.
The blue collar workers called me ignorant, yet, from my perspective, they seemed to have chips on their shoulders and came across as unintelligent.
I wanted to talk numbers because no way most blue collar makes over $100k. Can someone fill me in?

>>793647There’s more threads whining about sexlessness than my opinions. If anything that’s more “making it about my opinion” than me
The bourgies want us in trade school to make us work for them endlessly, perpetuating the oppressive cycle of the chaining of the proles
>>793662And university can make you escape that? Only way is to drop out of society or be fortunate enough to be self employed.
>>793662It’s the opposite
Bourgeois are pushing college and university.
Trades are looked down upon as for losers.
Trades are more essential for society than you think.
People think themselves too good to work with their hands. Everyone wants the cushy desk job where they can talk with fellow cosmopolitan intellectuals.
That’s the image that bourgeois sells about college education
And no wonder why so many people end up with student loan debt and get jobs that are subpar to their degree
