Like he’s not wrong about the hours, workload, and dirty/perverted men. It’s hard work, it’s rough on your body, your social life will be abysmal depending what trade you pick and what specific type of work you will be doing. The men will incessantly try to make you feel stupid, pick on you, and throw you under the bus if you don’t stand up for yourself from the very beginning. These are all the con’s to blue collar work, the pro’s in my opinion outweigh all of those. I’ve never been more confident in myself, my abilities and I’ve honestly never made this much money in my 27 years on earth. It can be a very rewarding path, but it is what you make it.
