So… Putting in effort to advance yourself should not be rewarded? I don’t get it.
In what way is working a more physically demanding job “advancing yourself”?
Besides, I’d also argue that most customer facing jobs are just as demanding as most physical trade jobs. They just fuck you up mentally instead of physically.
Not even degrees mean much anymore, a lot of job positions require one cause they can, not cause you’d actually benefit from that knowledge. Spending all that time and money to get a piece of paper can Aldo hardly be called "advancing yourself’.

It’s not the physical part - which isn’t even all that great of a difference - but getting familiar with physics. Working your brain rather than your muscle. That’s an advance.
There’s also a risk element - you fuck up on a powerline - you’re potentially dead. Fuck up a burger? You get yelled at.

It does. It also lifts all the turds.
You know how to make them boats get lifted even quicker? Join the tide. Invest in yourself. Make yourself better.
