all that matters is connections. you cannot get a good blue collar job unless you know someone. you cannot get a good job out of uni unless you know someone. look for cheap college programs that offer some kind of placement in the field. uni can technically get you some lame underpaid corporate or government job, but you will be swimming in debt.

University. Not that 9-5s are great but doing shift work for thirty years really kills you.

University.

I'm 19 making great money in a unionized construction job and I can tell you the job is not as fun as it seems. Toxic work culture, bullies high stress are all very prevalent.

Its really only for losers. If you are not mentally ill and you possess some type of discipline you should go to university, more money over time and higher status, plus now there's less men so the competition is weaker.

Shit take from a shit kid. That attitude of yours will follow regardless where you land. Be ready to be considered the baby at your workplace for years to come as the fledgling teen. This probably has more to do why you're having a bad time and not the job itself. Definitely not limited to blue collar work.

Depends on your longterm goals. I know plenty of losers that went to college, and rich people that never went to college and their business just kept succeeding.

You're probably blind to your own status since you're asking this question. You're an American that can afford to go to college, decently well off, and don't think education matters. And in a way, it doesn't.

But, if you ever grow some balls and leave America, you're realize how upper class you are, and if you're upper class but uneducated, you end up looking like the King's youngest son who's a piece of shit and no one respects. Everyone will still work for you, but it really looks pathetic.
Get properly educated, be the King's oldest son who people can look up to, and fuck a lot of Asian pussy. If you are American, the whole world will work for you and you can make bank, but it's nice to have respect at the same time.
Plus, it helps when you meet another American and you also went to university, gives you stupid shit to talk about when you get drunk and then you get their business

I know how you feel. Where I work people look down on you if you don't smoke or drink and the worst part is smoking helps you build connections

It's unfortunate but I don't let it get to me. I already got a raise and everyone that I've met says I'm of of the best workers they've seen, so im appreciated as a worker its just I don't really connect with the guys on a social level.

I still show up everyday and try my best, hoping that my work pays off one of these days. End of 2023 I should have 100k saved up

I'm conflicted since construction is where my rich uncle started but eventually went to just become an "independent foreman" and just collects checks by knowing specialized workers to send work out to and taking a cut.

Blue collar work is generally just a meme

Nice bro. I'm living the same lifestyle but paying for living expenses of course. Starting to think I'd rather have a wfh home job where I can save less but don't have to deal with that kind of workplace culture that boomers and self aggrandizing tradies

You're either mentally retarded or an out of touch boomer if you think

B) Intelligence and Charisma has any relation whatsoever with accreditation

I'm going to take it seriously now if I'm to ever get out of my current predicament. I couldn't study for shit because of long working hours and insomnia from preventing me from remembering or studying anything. Got some goypills that actually let me sleep and feel normal. I have a week to figure something out.
