There is NOTHING wrong with being a tradesmen.

[Frank Drebin]

I'm kind of a tradesman. Sometimes it would be nice to wear a suit or dress clothes to work, and to work in a downtown type atmosphere vs an industrial plant, but I think thats the only things I'm missing out on though. The pay is better, the time off is better, no stress.

[Frank Drebin]

In sociology, I studied tradesmen, srs.

It's not that there's anything wrong with trades, it's that society is commonly stratified based on your SOURCE of income, and not the size of your income. Tradesmen are still considered "working class" because they do physical labor and lack a formal education. Despite some of their impressive salaries, their peer groups consist of the working class and the lower class. Tradesmen aren't going to go to a banquet and chat up the college graduates. None of them have anything in common.

To conclude, tradesmen are stratified into the working class based on their source of income and informal associations.

You're right. I'm not sure whats wrong with this though. Tradespeople can't have "high class" friends.

doing work experience as an electrician with uncle and his apprentice. work is hard but funny as hell when you got mates and you sleep like a baby at the end of the day. also one of the highest paying trade jobs as well, especially in Aus where you can make 200k.

[Charlie Murphy]

Never mind the fact, even know, on average, over the course of a lifetime a college degree gets you more money than not. That doesn't chit on trades, just a fact.

That is the BIGGEST freaking lie you liberals spread.

I have worked in offices/finance since I was 18.

I wish I had been an electrician or something instead.

Sitting at a desk sucks ass.

I'm sick of all the hate that tradesmen garner around here on the Misc, do you know what? At least we have jobs and aren't rotting in our parents basement or slowly dying mentally and physically in an office chair. MY family comes from a long line of tradesmen, my mother was a plumber, my brother is a brick layer and makes a considerate amount of money compared to any loser rotting in his cubicle, sure the job might be dirty but it's an honest paycheck and has a sense of achievement compared to signing paperwork all day. Yesterday I clogged out a cat through a sewage pipe and I felt damn good and pleased, statistically, office work is filled with full of weird narcissistic weirdos, guess what the Misc is full of? KISS my ass you *******s.

[YourIHero]

Hating on tradies is just a misc meme, lol.

[BustaCapp]

i make more money in my warehouse position than my office counterparts, excluding the top managers. Do what you enjoy doing. If you enjoy sitting on an office chair all day, then do what you need to do to get there.

Here's one thing to consider. The next level of automation will begin to displace a lot of white color workers (lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers, etc) as more and more software is created to do their jobs more quickly and accurately. It will be a long time before we actually have robots to replace carpenters, plumbers, and brick layers. It will happen eventually but I believe those types of jobs will be the last to go.

[Raylan]

of course there isn't brah, as there is nothing wrong with manlets or whoever gets chit here but it's the misc, we are just having fun. the problem is the people that take it too seriously which also happens with the fa and red pill stuff. relax boyos if you keep taking it so seriously you might turn into a supreme tradesman.

[Belome]

This.

Even if the posts are serious, I imagine it's just people who are mildly upset that their piece of paper is likely going to result in a crappy job with crappy pay and no pension starting out. Plus the whole In debt thing. Lots of Degree holders on that " what size coffee would you like" time.

There is a ton of money to be made. You just have to want to do it.

I did love The Office show though.

Is he wrong?

Lots of white people, brown people and black people will lose their jobs due to automation.

But the increased efficiency reduces costs and leads to more affordable jobs. It also frees up labor resources to work on new things.

You phuking Misc's are worse than bitches when it comes to this kind of thing. You phuking no what I meant.

[Strawng]

We need more tradesmen. This whole "college is for everyone" mentality is starting to fuk our world up. Most people my age would be taking a MAJOR step up if they worked trades instead of taking 6 years to get their liberal arts degrees after being handheld through public university classes or spending time "away" from school in neverending gap years at home with their parents.

[celltechbrahz]

Tradesmen are cooler than us white collar ****s. That's the source of all the hate. You all do useful chit like fix and build things and we just manipulate data on computers and stuff. Tbh I think I'll leave humanity behind and become a tradie.

[naths]

I was in a trade for two years, left to study computer science, never been happier in my entire life.

To each their own my friend.

If you work hard, like anything, you will succeed and make something of yourself, regardless of your career decisions.

[TheAmazon]

A copypasta is born.

This..and I don't think any one is really making fun of them. Honestly tradesmen really do make the world go round...even the STEMY tradesmen like nurses and radiology lab techs etc.

I'm sick of all the hate that bogans garner around here on the Misc, do you know what? At least we don't have jobs. MY family comes from a long line of bogans, my mother was a bogan, my brother is a bogan and makes an inconsiderate amount of money compared to any loser rotting in his cubicle, sure the estate housing might be dirty but it's not an honest paycheck and has no sense of achievement compared to signing paperwork all day. Yesterday I stuffed a stray cat in a sewage pipe and I felt damn good and pleased, statistically, office work is filled with full of people who make me feel inferior, guess what the Misc is full of? KISS my ass you *******s.

Fixed that for you.

I had no idea that female plumbers even existed.

They're called gynecologists.

[SSM12]

I want the money that comes along with most non trade entry level - semi experienced positions. But I hate office work. Would rather be out doing ****, but whatever.

[Bloodmane92]

Just an FYI - queen of the tradie bashers, BustaHeartattack, is a morbidly obese balding person who lives in government funded housing. He lost his job as a postal worker, and he became a postal worker because he was rejected from carpentry school - a classic trade. He's currently bitter, middle aged and living off of welfare while sitting on the Misc all day with his government subsidised internet connection making fun of people he cannot be in the hopes of getting reps.

He'll come in here shortly and claim that I am fat and/or rape kangaroos, and/or call me a reject of the original United Cuckdom.
