Blue collar is better!

[JakeWIlls92]

So to get a office job that everyone dreams of or a job requiring a degree I am going to have to work at fast food places to build a resume. Yuck I will never wear those uniforms! I think I want to go into blue collar work!

Fast food uniforms look gay!

Obama's illegals will be getting those blue collar jobs. He's going to fix it so America will always have an over-supply of slave labor. Those good paying construction jobs will soon be history.

Its one thing I will never understand. Every parent in America figures their "darling" children are better than that. Getting their hands dirty is beneath them.

I have 3 kids. The oldest boy is machinist, knocking down serious money at age 30. My daughter at age 28 is in the medical profession making 6 figures. My youngest at 25 is an apprentice plumber making 18 bucks an hour. At the end of his apprenticeship, his scale will be 39 bucks an hour.

I am a union carpenter who makes 32 an hour, and our union is filled with old guys because the kids simply do not to work that hard.

I am amazed by what people do.

Very possible. Its happening already. Look at the meat packers for a prime example.

Are there any white collar professions that do not require fast food experience?

i'm just glad that I'm not looking for a job as a young kid nowadays . Course , if I was I'd take pretty much anything that came my way and try to work my way up . I know a college educated 40 year old , he graduated , is a house husband , takes care of his kid and runs , does exercise and hopes that his 5 year old becomes a sports star .

I've been white-collar. Am blue-collar now. Doesn't pay as well, but at least my brain stopped hurting.
