Honest assessment- Office people are being disrespectful and then posturing as victims who are having their capabilities questioned. Very few blue collar guys are actually asserting that no white collar guys could do construction work. t’s just that it’s insulting when people assert that it would be this effortless transition for them since they are naturally so much smarter than everyone else. A certain number of relatively higher-IQ men end up in construction, and guess what? It still takes them many years to really master the trade. Especially if they started from nothing. Unfortunately, I do think there are some white-collar people who just couldn’t stand up to the nature of the work. But there’s another group of them that, while being capable, would damn near lose their mind from 5+ years of being the low man, attempting to fix their own inexperienced fuck ups, and learning how to deal with some of the maniacs in the trades. submitted by /u/tantamle
