There’s an interesting book called “The Millionaire Next Door”. In it, the author describes an attorney/doctor/other professional that has a very high overhead, has to pay for the right house in the right neighborhood, the right country club, the right private schools, the right car, the right suits, the right vacation home, the right vacations, the right toys, etc. An extremely expensive life. The author contrasts this with the plumber/lineman/welder/electrician that has zero obligation to pay for the trappings of a fancy life. He winds up with more money than the doctor. So if anyone looks down on a tradesman, because they think they’re less than, they probably have more than the foolish snob making the judgment. Also, all of society would fall apart without tradesmen. I’ve long thought that the most important worker in a hospital is the cleaner, because without them, no one else can work. Can’t perform open heart surgery in a dirty OR. Let’s normalize not seeing jobs as lowly.
