>>160314>This is some liberal bullshit.Nah, you're just a crypto CHUD that's never done physical labor in his life.
The average salary for someone in the trades is 60k.
>The left was originally for the tradesBecause there wasn't this huge white collar jobs market back then. If you worked for a living back then, you worked in a trade. There was no such thing as an IT job.
>Having a degree doesn’t make you semi-intellectuals literate.It does, you literally have to at least know English well enough to write coherent papers.
I actually organize with blue collar workers. A lot of these guys are functionally illiterate.
>Really? In this economy, it’s the people with degrees whom are struggling to find steady employmentYeah, because trade jobs are shitty. It's always easy to find a shitty job. You know most apprenticeship programs will barely pay above minimum wage and require several years to complete. What are you supposed to do in the mean time? Live in your car for 3 years?
>The right currently promotes military service and church. I’ve never heard of trades from the right.You are lying. There's entire right wing shows like "Dirty Jobs" that promote trades as the "real" jobs.
And you're doing the old trope of implying I don't like trades because the work is beneath me.
Working in shit is fine, trades suck because they're hard, hard jobs that don't pay shit, aren't stable, and actually will largely replaced by robots in the near future.
This old boomer lore of doing pipefitting for 40 years is not reality anymore.
