Surprisingly, a lot of blue collar jobs pay a lot better than a lot of white collar jobs. That's not usually the case, but it's often the case.

More and more dangerous ideas keep coming to mind. I gotta stop thinking about cars...

Just remember not to get all pissy when people say some things are a bad idea!

Maybe I should make a thread? (That sounds like a worse idea)

most of these guys make crap which is part of the problem. hard work that doesn't pay chit isn't going to attract top talent. I'm just glad I'm not in the field. got a thermostat in my office which happens to be the largest in the building. but that's just a condition of my location and position not status or anything of importance. |

Now, if anybody can't be bothered to go through the process to get to that level and spend their whole working career as a helper then ya they are not going to make much. Sort of like the white collar guys that get a community collage diploma in philosophy or something and then complain they can't get an upper management job after working someplace for 2 years.

*Hint: we are a very very large subcontractor. but trade schools are a lot cheaper and most offer a pretty good job placement program. but here a lot of people that can't be bothered to try and become more than a minimum wage helper will just protest in the streets for more money. that's the closest thing to effort they will ever show. they're basically one side of the same coin as a philo major that thinks they are entitled to a six figure job when they're barley qualified to be a barista. |

All depends on what the BA is in as well. There are some totally valueless BAs out there.

I could be. I have direct access to a labor force prone to drug abuse.
I'm in construction. Interior finishes to be specific. drywall to be more specific. :p I met a girl in my financial accounting class last semester that was a construction management major. I tried to tell her not to do it. I went on for a solid 30min as to why that's a terrible idea. I don't think I got through. |

here's an example of the dumb I deal with on a daily basis. I think I may have posted this before.
this is a picture of a picture on another phone sitting on a notepad with info of what's in the picture. he took the time to do all of this instead of sending me the pic with a description in the text or email. I have another that I'd share but I don't feel like cropping out sensitive info. it's an invoice that I had a vendor add a $0 value line for "A basket of kittens to a good home" to see if they were even bothering to check what they were signing for. they are not. the guy receiving the order signed the ticket without even bothering to see what items were on there. so really anyone could have said they shipped us anything without actually doing it thus making a killing at our expense. if we sign for it that's all the proof they need to say we owe payment for it. |
