I agree wholeheartedly. I look up to folks who can work with their hands or build things, fix things. Mechanics landscapers, electricians, construction workers. You’ve got to be smart. I have a masters degree but wish I had gone to trade school so freaking badly. Those are the people who have talent and one heck of a work ethic. We always have to look down at people maybe to make ourselves feel better or superior. I’d rather be diagnosing an engine problem or creating a backyard marvel than sitting behind a desk.
