Hollywood's version of the middle class worker.


Mike Rowe is a fantastic advocate for skilled labor.

In my own state, there's a huge shortage of skilled labor like
welders, plumbers, electricians, etc.

The problem is that the East and West Coast Elite's have made
succeeded in getting people to think that no going to a 4-year college
is an awful thing, and instruction in the Trades is de-emphasized (if it
even exists) at the high school/middle school level in most districts.

The consequence is that, as Mike Rowe stated, kids think of these jobs
as unworthy or beneath them. The fact that many people in the trades
make far more money than many college graduates is never disclosed to
these kids. If you're a good welder, you going to make 6 figures easy,
for example.
