Man all the "good" qualities you guys mention about manual labour jobs sound horrible to me. It could be I hate them so much because i'm anti social as fk and if you don't have the same sense of humour as the guys you work with and you don't get along with them as friends you're fkd and not gonna make it.
In kitchens i don't have to get along with anyone, everyones just nice and quiet and it's about the work you do not the friends you make. Can't stand manual labour humour
Brb talking about hard your working all day
Brb whistling at girls
Brb yelling cringe worthy chit at girls
Brb fart jokes
Brb chit jokes
No thanks jeff

OP you say that as if going to uni is the be all and end all and if you dont go you're scum.
Some people just don't like desk work. I currently do desk work and I fukkin hate it. Was ok at the start but everyday that goes by I feel my soul being slowly destroyed. Currently trying to find an apprenticeship in electrical instrumentation. You gonna hold that against me and label me as someone who was too dumb to follow their dreams? fuk you.

That's not what i'm saying at all, i'm saying that these manual labourers act like they're BETTER than educated people because those people are pussys or something. From what i've seen people outside manual labour jobs respect manual labourers but manual labourers respect no one but themselves and think anyone that doesn't want to work as hard as them is a pussy.

Lol nothing wrong with manual labour if you're good at it and you enjoy it, nothing wrong with an office job either.
Yeah there are a lot of bitter labourers who like to hate on office workers because they envy them, and there are college snobs too.
Either way, both are skilled and well paid jobs and if they enjoy what they do let them be.
I couldn't do manual labour but I see nothing wrong with it for people who enjoy it.I like my women how I like my coffee crew
I hate coffee crew

You act like a 12hr shift is "only" for manual labor jobs. Plenty of careers get hit up with 12hr shifts regardless of how manual their labor is or not. I also didn't go to college but make more than an average college graduate now a days. Everyone at my job think the exact opposite, we believe or job is the hardest job on your body and wish we could do something easier. We believe that anyone in an office type of setting has no idea how easy they have it and take it for granted.
When I meet someone that went to college and is making what I am sitting down i'm jelly lol---------------------------------------

All these *******s act like they are gods gift to mankind, the hardest working, toughest, most skilled people on the planet. In reality they are usually moron highschool drop outs who were too stupid to go to university and get into a real field.
For some reason they are always proud to work like 10-12 hour days just because they make more money, yet they have absolutely no free time to enjoy their money or even have a life. Strong logic.
I wouldn't work a manual labour job for ANY amount of money, i'd rather not waste my life on 12 hour shifts and constantly be exhausted. Most of these people don't ever go anywhere either, they work hard in their youth and when they get old they become alcoholics who can't work and end up on welfare till they die.
I'm sure some of you manual labour brahs are cool but 95% of you are ****s who need to get over yourselves."Discipline and self-control. Acquire some - profit." -juliacheh.

Working in the oilfields, I can actually vouche that there is some truth to this. There are some jobs which pay $120,000, but you spend 6 days a week sleeping in a truck and working long hours in the middle of the desert. Never understood these people myself, unless they had a family and REALLY needed the money. There are other jobs though which you only work 6 months/year for 6 figures and those are pretty sweet. Not everyone is an overcompensating, "always gotta stay busy", annoying, try-hard redneck ******* though. There are a lot of down to earth people out here too who just want to make some money and spend time with their family/hobbies, instead obsessing over and basing their identity around work like some of the other weird *******s in this industry.

There's nothing wrong with manual labor at all. I've done a little of it, and I moved on, but I don't begrudge people who like it, are good at it, and can support their families from it at all. I'd be happy to work with people like that, any day.
Unfortunately, probably because the job market for the trades is so bad here that you have to be kind of a desperate unemployable to end up in them, most of what I see is people who work about 5 months of the year and spend the rest on unemployment drunk or high, then try to con their doctors into putting them onto disability. Especially the union gigs where they handle the work roster and hand out work based more on need than merit, those seem to be magnets for lazy dirtbags who can barely manage their own lives. I'd rather eat a bullet than work with people like that.Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Have done hard landscaping in the summers the past 4 seasons....to make money to pay for school/expenses. OP you are a *******.....some of my co-workers have fit into your crafted stereotype and others (like myself) are very very different. I have respect for anybody that can work as hard as I have had to some days.....not every "man" could. I have seen several pussies quit after their first day or their first real hard day of work. I believe that I have learned skills, important "life lessons" and a lot about myself from working these jobs. I also believe that you must be the captain of all the misc pussies

OP you sound like a pussy. Youre not willibg to work hard which is why you will never be rich or successful. You have no guts, no b@lls, nowork ethic yet you want to talk chit about people that actually do work hard? Typical female logic.
You have zero chracter and zero chance of success with that attitude. Good luck with ur unemployment goals in 2014

Lol at all the "smart" college kids wasting 40g's on a useless BA in some abstract subject that won't get them anywhere in life. You want to talk about smug, condescending attitudes? Go to any campus and listen to all the entitled, self righteous idealist phucks talking about saving the world.
Brb, working hard in a trade, making money, researching how to invest, and working towards financial freedom and pursuit of recreation +family.
