I don't know, but I've come to notice when people who pursue a career in a "blue collar" Job, people tend to look down upon it. I don't understand why is that the case even if they have a degree of some sort?
Why do people look down on people who do "blue collar" jobs?

The rhetoric brought upon to you starting when your a child, that their supposedly is a correlation between blue collar jobs and an untapped potential. Any rational, open, and self reflecting adult will refute any sort of claim.

Working with your hands is thought to not be intellectually rigorous.

people associate blue collar jobs with unskilled labor I guess. I associate white collar jobs with a lot of sitting and wasting time/ company money in meetings about nothing. It goes both ways.
Just grind and it will pay off don't worry about anyone else.
