When are we going to stop shilling and glamorizing blue collar trades?

People keep spouting off about how much money you can make as a plumber or electrician.

What if I told you that you can go to uni, have the best time of your life, get a white collar job, and make just as much relaxing at a desk rather than busting your ass on your hands and knees all day for the rest of your life?

Trade work is grueling work that takes a physical toll on your body. Its long hours in the hot sun or freezing cold. Stop glamorizing this shit, its embarrassing.

>If SHTF you're self sufficient and know other contractors who don't fuck around
You're supposed to take the contractor pill, not the blue collar wagie pill

>Tradie thinks owning a business that changes smoke detector batteries while balancing debt and truck payments means his wife loves him.
Many such cases.

No good can come from any job.
Some are undoubtedly worse than others. But ultimately you will always be treated like shit and tired for nothing in return.

Even these investments are missing the point. I never invested with the intent of being a billionaire. I just want to make enough to pay my bills without being a wagie, and if I can... Fuck over wagies. Not because I think it'll increase my status by much, but I just hate them.

I worked at fucking subway. The vast majority of people are
>Nigs who arent gonna tip anyway but want a sandwich made by Picasso
>Karens who will fucking call the store just to complain my sandwich was too sloppy or didn't put on as many pickles as she wanted or some gay shit I don't care about.
>Entitled motherfuckers who see me doing ten orders as soon as I walk through that door, only to get mad I'm taking so long with theirs

I want to rob them. I'll do it by gunpoint if I have too but it would be sweeter to do it legally and im called a productive citizen for bullying these pieces of shit.

The only decent person I met there was this 40something biker mommy who is always nice to me and always compliments me on how cute and kind I am. I think I could fuck her.

I don't really know what are you talking about, I'm autistic as fuck and I read "shilling and glamorizing blue dog trades" and I instantly thought about VINU, I instantly agreed with you, VINU deserves more love and attention, but you were just talking something I don't really know about sorry lol
But yeah, get some VINU guys, it's pretty good man, only cheap shitcoin I like
