I left a job that required a college education and professional licence to work in a factory and it has been amazing. I feel like I was lied to. People told me go to school and get a job with a fancy title, but the pay was terrible and my bosses were worse.
People have done blue collar work dirty. I get paid more now than at my fancy job and my bosses treat me with respect because of the work union. The only difference is the reaction you get when you tell people your job title. I’d rather money and respect than a fancy title.

I had the opposite experience. Left a shitty blue-collar job (it was even a union job, but the union was toothless and mostly just existed to get work from places that would only place orders with union shops) for an office job.
The hours are better, the pay is better, the co-workers are less bigoted, and I no longer smell like grease and sweat whenever I come home.
There will always be trade-offs in any job. Whether it’s blue-collar, white-collar, or whatever ever other collar you can think of. There is no perfect job type for everyone.
