The endless absurd claim of the leftwing that the solution is for everyone to get a MBA and everyone become a CEO. The contempt of the leftwing of blue collar workers now is absolute to the point of hatred.
Your comprehension is so far off the scale it goes beyond absurdity.
First, blue collar jobs are an endangered species except for the classic trades. I support anybody who has the ability to learn and practice one of the trades, but beyond that there is only manufacturing, which is (A) becoming increasingly automated by advanced robotics and artificial intelligence.
The jobs that involve men (and women) rolling up sleeves and making stuff are on the decline, and the ones which weren't automated were given away to China long ago, and if they ever come back, they too will be largely automated.
Enter a new trade, designing, maintaining, programming and implementing robotics. It requires a great deal of training and skill.
I can tell by reading this last post of yours that you've never had a blue collar manufacturing job in your entire life, or if so, it was more than thirty years ago.
MY FIRST real W-2 job, at sixteen, was in the factory that made the very first computer modems, in 1972. They were the size of a small microwave oven and cost several thousand dollars in 1972 money. I started out stuffing parts into circuit boards, got promoted to running the automated wave solder machinery, then moved into QC.
I was also finishing up high school part time in the mornings. I could have graduated in my sophomore year but I was young and stupid and blew the chance so my next year consisted of two morning classes, and I graduated in my junior year instead.
I've assembled electronics, made lamps, made wooden pallets, done plastic injection molding, even assembled automobile differentials.
But each of those manufacturing jobs paid less and less and less as the years went by. That first job at
Penril Data (1979 WaPo article) earned me enough to buy a car, rent an apartment, buy food, have a social life and dress in style, and it was almost part time, 34 hours per week.
The successive manufacturing jobs barely earned me enough to keep a roof over my head and only when combined with my wife or girlfriend's income, and they were all full time.
You dream of a blue collar America that was already beginning to disappear back when Bruce Springsteen mourned for them back in 1980.
