what do you think of that statement

some people in my wifes office (especially upper management) think that people work labor jobs because they arent smart enough to be in the white collar corporate world

the thing is. im a limo driver and I have driven many big shot employees and half of them seem like absolute idiots. i have met people in the hood smarter than them.

thoughts? is that statement correct?

I think they say that to try and feel better than other people. Anyone who has seen someone lay the foundation and build a house from scratch knows , that takes a sharp brain and plenty of skill . More so then sending fuckin emails all day or using a printer .

No. A lot of office workers are dumb as shit and they seriously just coast by somehow not even doing the bare minimum.

100% truth. Covering up their own insecurities about their own life by shitting on other people to feel better.

As a guy who started out in service jobs and has been working corporate IT for a decade, damn near the opposite.

That mentality kinda died out in the 90's, when people realized that plumbers, carpenters, mail carriers, and other jobs with union and pension protections were making crazy bank.

That was a very 70's and 80's way of thinking, and the only ones that really still feel that way are the ones that were joining the workforce during that era.

I've worked in factories during college and my degree is in supply chain management, so I have working experience in labor & office environments. Your wife's office is correct, sorry OP. Yes, office workers are idiots, but labor workers are even bigger idiots unfortunately.

There are people who are book smart, who lack complete common sense and have zero street smarts.

then you have those who are completely street wise and talented with manual work. But couldnt read a text book or pass a written test for whatever reason.

then youll find the rare combination of both.

I know engineers who couldnt turn a screw driver.

Some people don't have the means to get those high level jobs. Some people do what they do cause they like it.

Like I chose not to go college cause I got to watch my brother squirm getting hit with mail to pay his student loan..he still ain't paid that shit off and not worked a day in the industry he got it for.

I like my job though. I'm burnt out cause mandatory overtime has been a bitch for years now but otherwise I love my job. Usually you expect more physical types to work in a prison. Not me I'm a reasonably intelligent person. I rarely get physical. I know and understand policy and just do paperwork if someone is breaking rules.

Truth is you rarely get either in a prison. You get people that wanna sit on their ass do nothing collect a paycheck then bitch when they get chewed out fo not doing their job

At the very least, people in office jobs and management tend to be much dumber than laborers when it comes to labor. So often I've had dumb pricks from up on high come in and tell us how to make our jobs worse.
