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.
So do I, Nomads go where the money is.
