    Dude, come on, don’t be disingenuous, this is well established.

    The trades have been denigrated for decades, despite many of them being well-paying, secure jobs that require significant re-training and re-certification on a regular basis.

      Well you seem to be acting disingenuous yourself by denigrating other professions you dont respect in turn. How is that fair? They’re already paid far less (and probably far less than they’re worth) you think it’s justifiable to say that they’re suddenly tantamount to the “unskilled” labor you feel trades are left under.

      You dont elevate yourself by punching down, you just make more room below you.
