Why do white people look down on trades and tradesmen?

Why do white people look down on trades and tradesmen?

Because the "people" who do those jobs tend to be not much higher iq wise than Negroes.

I worked manual labour for a year and I met some of the most degenerate characters in my life.

>white people, like Cred Forums, are 1 person

I am a tradesmen and I fuck my apprentice on the reg, I tell him it's part of the job so just suck it up

they want high paying, easy and effortless (((white collar))) jobs.

you know how much money that you get paid if you just rock up with a hi vis shirt in america? nothing cunt

Because the tradesman is dead. No one takes pride in their work, they're overworked, and strung out by regulatory agencies.

It needs to make a comeback though.

They all believe they're destined to be successful leaders and business owners. Doing a trade is like being a failure, except, they're wrong, as usual, because the tradesman isn't 100k in debt and without even a starting job.

>destroy shit
>expect shit to get better

nigger logic

Because there was a period where those jobs were actually shitty, low paying jobs and generally reserved for people who weren't smart or talented enough to do anything else.

This really isn't the case anymore and the people you see looking down on trades are the same people who think that literally everyone should go to college because that's the only way you'll get a "real" job and other such nonsense. There was a brief period in time when this was true and the people who grew up in that time don't understand that the world has changed since.

I have a lot more respect for tradesmen who make things and do real work than for guy who got a degree so they could sit in an office all day pushing papers around. My Dad's a master electrician and I really wish he had taught me his trade rather than pushing me to go to college. I'd certainly be making a lot more money than I do now.

It's just liberal "college educated" types that look down on tradesmen. I mean everyone looks down on low-level construction workers, as they're mostly stronk retards, felons and illegals, but actual electricians, carpenters, plumbers etc etc... aren't looked down upon as much.

The ones that do look down on skilled tradesmen do it because they usually don't dress very nice, have the greatest verbal accumen and generally look like 40 year old burnouts, even though they are probably much more intelligent than they look or sound and probably have plenty of money that they don't blow on aesthetical crap like nice cars and fancy clothes. I do some carpentry work with guys like this from time to time, you wouldn't believe it from looking at them but most of them have 300k+ in their savings account not counting their retirement fund, nice houses with a pool and entertainment room, nice boats etc etc... They look like burn outs with long hair, shitty clothes and some old shitty truck they use for work.

Part of leftist subversion, trying to convince us that everyone needs college.

>college being their #1 propaganda center

White collar IT worker here.

Mad respect to all the tradies.

Fellow Ameribro here...This is literally the case. Many trades were looked down upon because the social elite told society that tradesman weren't worth a damn. We all know that to be untrue, as they were among the driving factors that helped spur the USA to great heights in the middle of the 20th century.

Currently, trades are kill because of the regulatory processes that are imposed upon them by an overreaching governement, eager to stick their big kike noses where they aren't needed. There are a few master tradesmen left in my area, typically carpenters and electricians. I wish I had gone to trade school instead of a bullshit 4 year college. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Hindsight is always 20/20.

You have to admit that your are merely scared of tradesmen. You have to admit to being a fucking pussy numale candyass bitch.
I was a tradesman 10 years after highschool, and only the sissy bitch segment of the population looked down on me, that is, mostly weak asians and jews. I have a masters now and see that education and iq has nothing to do with what people do for a living. However, being a sissy bitch will always define you.

This is a joke, right? Quality electrician, plumbers, and welders are a backbone of modern industry. Modern young adults look down on them due to a lack of value applied to a hard day's work. They might even be subconsciously jealous that they will never matter as much while working their human resource office job.

Baby boomers raised 2 generations to think everyone is special and can and should aspire to go to college. Needless to say baby boomers clearly had/have no grasp of economics and this turned out to be patently false.

So now we have the worst of both worlds, wasting money and time in worthless college degrees and having to compete with 3rd worlders (thatbabyboomers invited into our countries) for shit jobs.

What a wonderful legacy. Thank you babyboomers.

what?

No. They have my full respect for contentiously working very dull and heavy work sometimes even on weekends or nights. I cannot comprehend as a lazy person how in the fuck you can stick with those kind of jobs for years and years with shitty salary contrast to with little effort you can teach and study yourself to nice, clean office job, thought my opinion is reflected by the fact as in Finland schools are paid by socialism so it's even more looked down if person has no interest to educate him/herself or has no schools at all.

t. did line job at age of 15 for 2 weeks and since at age of 27 I have never worked outside of office environment and never probably will.

because there's no reason to do something you don't want to do

They don't.

>you don't wanna be FLIPPIN' BURGERS

tradesmen have the best banter and in the UK are very well paid
i know a roofer who gets 50k a year self employed, brickies also make a tonne because the world is full of limp wristed little faggots who want to stand behind a counter or go to uni

tradesmen are at different locations often, can manage their time and have a more varied career rather than most jobs where you do the same bullshit 9-5

Depends on your goals in life Hans. Here you can make 6 figures in a multitude of trades working 35-45 hours a week with 2 paid weeks of vacation per year that probably evolves to 3 weeks at a certain year marker and possibly up to 4 weeks. Most people are just lazy and only go so far as to google "Plumber salary union", "Plumber salary non union" instead of "Jobs that branch out from pipe fitting" etc. Personally I had more fulfillment working as a service tech pulling in 65k a year then I do as a office monkey pulling in 60k a year (not including commissions) but it is nice being able to sit at a desk and get paid to shitpost on Cred Forums and watch netflix on a secondary monitor as I do my work.

Nah, senpai.

>Ten years ago, I was a SysAdmin. The Junior admins handle the shit jobs like account creation and backups. I did a lot of the field work that the Senior Sysadmins didn't want to deal with.
>Work for an outsourced company at one of the Big Three automotive companies. Have to go to a lot of the plants and offices. Didn't mind so much, as I got to spend time on the road and away from my desk.
>Go to plants. Have to wait and wait for a union guy to get around to carrying a small desktop to the server room. (Union rules, if it's equipment larger than a laptop, the union has to move it.) Yes, I had to wait for a guy on a hilo to carry a small ten pound desktop. Union dude was within view, reading a magazine.
>This happened at least twice a week.
>Got to know the union guys as well as an electrician (who was in the same boat I was, waiting for union guys to move equipment). Overall pretty cool dudes.
>We'd shoot the shit and I eventually found out that they made twice as much as I did with a lot less stress - even though I was far more educated than they were.

Now, as I watch as companies keep moving I.T. jobs to poo-in-loo places (as they have been for years), I kick myself for not dropping I.T. then and there and becoming an electrician instead.

what is your problem you seppo cunt?

>but it is nice being able to sit at a desk and get paid to shitpost on Cred Forums and watch netflix on a secondary monitor as I do my work.
you and me both, nigga

don't study a trade if you want to get laid

i dont get it

Because Tradies are all the same.

They start off as the stupid pothead kids in highschool. Drunk parents, degenerate single mothers. Then when they realize after taking 6 years of highschool that they have accomplished nothing (like their family) they take the easiest, most low skilled, low intellect job they can, all in the name of getting drunk 4 days a week and fighting outside bars.

We need to automate the jobs from under them, but until that happens all tradies (retard plumbers, ironworkers, brick head roofers, etc) need to be gassed. Eugenics should weed out the tradie scum ASAP.

it rhymes so I lived my life by it

The last 2 generations shit talking them

>tfw have some shithead roofer and painter on my property


is it mandatory to day drink to be roofer?

you would think those two don't go together

mexicans ruined the trades


t.pipefitter

Actually yes. Every roofer I've ever known has been on the moment he gets up to the moment he goes to sleep.

This one cunt I knew would drink an entire bottle of vodka. In the middle of the day. On top of a roof. At a building site.

The only pipe you fit is the one in your poor ass.

Bet you live in an apartment with tools all over the front hall.

Disgusting.

*been on the piss

30 year old white man here. Currently riding in a work truck with my partner in the Florida panhandle to finish up electrical work on several different jobs. I own a home have a wife and 2 kids. Zero debt. I make great money and have a pretty solid life. My older brother went to college and is struggling like I was in my early to mid 20s.

Anyone who looks down on me because I drive a 15 year old beat up car to work instead of a brand new truck is a moron.

>implying I don't do the same but in my van.

You do get the luxury of a bigger screen tho.

Granted seeing the same ol people every day and having the same lunch options for eating out gets old and I do miss interacting with a multitude of customers and basically being the face of the company it's so nice being able to have the same commute everyday (especially in winter when the roads here are fucked). To have my woofer under my desk. To be able to appear the model employee easily instead of through direct interaction with superiors instead of them just getting feedback from customers and so on and so forth. But the cap for being out of the field in my field was 120k and I'm hungry for more and didn't want to juggle service tech and selling and just focus on selling.

Yeah now thinking back I remember I had my phone on my dashboard playing netflix and being paid $0.55 a mile was nice as well but health wise it would have taken its toll on me faster then a deskjob. Between the added risk of a car accident form driving all over the state, carrying and climbing ladders, and so on and so forth all I need to worry about at a desk job is putting on too many pounds but as of now with my metabolism it is an impossible task and once that catches up to me I'll just add in more running with the dog.

Guidance counselors share some of the blame here as well by pushing the 4 year degree meme onto quality potential tradesmen, and treat the skilled trades as though they are reserved for the "slow" kids. That's what happened to me. I had no interest in a four year college even though I had the grades for it. My guidance counselor did everything he could to talk down the skilled trades even though that's where I felt my future was. In the end I went to a two year tech school and make decent enough money now, but hate the work environment (stuffy office/lab, sitting behind a desk all day). Would have much rather been an electrician.

Are you talking about the Alberta oilpatch niggers?

It's not really a tradesman thing in thate case. Northern AB just attracts the worst kind of filth.

>Why do white people
notice the problem yet?

why this has >35 replies Cred Forums?

You mean that's not part of paying your dues?

Depends on where you live. Big cities full of idealist liberals are likely more dismissive, despite that they're probably making less money than a pipefitter or carpenter. Smaller cities/towns know what's up, they have a lot more respect for trades people.

Electrician here, I don't receive that attitude whatsoever

If i keep getting talked down upon the next ship i weld might have a bad weld

White privilege

As a tradesman city liberals are a fucking dream. They are so clueless that you can charge huge prices and you don't even have to feel guilty about it.

We import tens of thousands of electricians into my state yearly. The biggest downfall of a tradesman is not having the balls to talk to his boss and expecting to be given what he deserves.

Why do niggers hate farmers?

That's about $100 per toilet seat mate. Good on you from learning from the Jew! To defeat the Jews we have to out Jew the Jews!

We dont. It's the brainwashed checks exposed to cultural Marxism who do. But nobody values their opinions because they're useless and will die off the moment they stop getting pandered to.

LOL

Jews.

Almost every honest job has been degraded, office jobs are celebrated.

No, to defeat the jew you have to get them and any economic control they might have out of your country.

Where I live there are only a few different choices for each major trade (electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc) and they all make bank because they're so in demand that they can overbid a job and still get it.

All I hear on this board are the glory stories of trades.
Is it really true or a meme.
My neighbor is a union electrician and has been unemployed for like 3 years.

I dont really know anyone who shits on skilled labor. But I do notice it in the media. I think thats the only place I ever see it. Office work is terribly dull and I think people in the media hate their lives so they want others to share in their misery.

Getting certain people out of economic control by the very definition is to Jew which is why I wrote what I did. We're on the same track but different trains.

Wow, really made me think. Why do niggers always wreck shit?

You know, soon as I hear untion electrician im immediately interested your neighbor. I used to work at an auto action and we had this army of retired men there to move cars around. They were all like your neighbor and they had great stories. They were almost all men of character as well.

BTW, only one post with this ID. Same mudslime shitposter as always.

It completely depends m8. Some trades are great, and some not so much.

If it's high skilled or regulated, and you live in an area that's not broke then it's a great job. When you know what you are doing and find the right niche it can earn serious money in the uk.

>be a forester
>old people are either super friendly or think they know far more about your trade than you do
>middle aged and younger are cordial and respectful because they inherited a patch of forest they want to make money out of but have no damn idea how that is going to happen

When it comes to forestry, here in ol' Finland it used to be a job for farm hands and farmer's sons to earn their keep during wintertime. Old style forest work required tons of labor for extremely tough but mostly no-brainer jobs like peeling logs, nowadays it's a whole different field where everyone from loggers to supervisors have to know a lot of technical stuff from forest ecology to legislation. Old people don't really understand that and either treat you like a mongrel or respect you for picking a tough job, while a lot of younger folks think it's amazing when you're skilled with a saw and can appraise their forest and come up with a silvicultural plan. There still are no-brainer manpower sink tasks like planting, but those are usually covered by trainees who quickly evolve to more demanding tasks.

Majority of them are white though, from electricians to plumbers.

Ignorant that they're not paid a lot too.

Oh what? You're too good to flip burgers?!

>Anyone who looks down on me because I drive a 15 year old beat up car to work instead of a brand new truck is a moron.

I don't look down on you because of that. I look down on you because

>Florida panhandle

Autistic snobby cunt, the post:

It's jealousy. I'm a head chef (I'd argue chefs(not cooks) are technically "trade") at an award winning pub (2 rosette, multiple local awards, good food guide, hopefully getting a third rosette within the next year then maybe our first star). The owner has anorher property as well which i contribute my services to i get a salary and cut of the profits. Salary is £44k a year and then tips knock that to 50. Add in the share I get and I'm raking in a comfortable 60, sometimes 70.

People looked down on me for being a chef but 15 years into the industry and I'm making double what most of my friends who went to university are pulling. My dad who is an electrical engineer makes as much as I do.

People buy into the university debt, the office wagecucking and soulless pursuit of it all. I was there getting to be creative and learn loads while getting paid shit. I served them. Get up a rep, continue working head down and before I knew it I was managing kitchens and eventually given my own. These people now come to my resturants and I cuck them out of their hard earned money. It takes about £3-6 to make a dish and these idiots are paying me £25 on average.

Because I hire them to repair my flooded basement and they clog up my utility sink with paint and epoxy.

Just moved to Miami for work. By degree I'm an electrical engineer. But I wanted to get a journeymans electrician cert. What's the best way to do this. You looking for a part time helper?
