How is that working out for you so far?
I really never got the "blue collar=unskilled" meme. Some of them? Sure. But for plenty of others, those manual trades (formal or not) take at least as much skill as the average BA/BS holding office plankton or barista.
Note that I was NOT talking about skilled blue collar folks, there is actually going to be a shortage of skilled tradespeople soon, IIRC, as more and more Boomers retire because so few Xers and Millennials have went into the trades.
