I must have heard a thousand versions of that through the 90s telling me that the punishment for not getting an education was going to be construction or factory work.
Digging ditches was my father’s phrase. And he was right, though I don’t thing there’s many people digging by hand these days.
Electrician or plumber have reputations of being solid and busy jobs that are always in demand. Maybe they just aren’t what parents want to say their children do or something.
Yeah, so what happens when we’re all lawyers? Who’s gonna do the plumbing or electrical, or whatever? lol. Everything is always changing, what is considered good pay and a good career at one point in time will change depending on what is in supply and what is in demand.
Because we tell kids NOT to get productive jobs.

There was a time when those productive jobs paid as well or better than white collar jobs.
Not anymore. Not unless you own the business.
Plenty of them still do, I’ve got friends who are builders and electricians and they’re making nearly double what I do in an office job.
