Because fixing your car is a more valuable skill than your english degree.

Is their skill important, difficult to replace, and provides a crucial component of their workflow? If so I'd say they earned it. Pay people based on their importance.

Since when did all college grads have those degrees. Entry engineers can start from 50k-70k. Why should some kid without a degree make more?

D. It's concerning you care more about this than the billionaires who constantly manipulate & drain the lower classes so they can lord over the blue collar workers and such. Especially since these people usually got to where they were by avoiding any real manual labor, that they're incapable of doing themselves.

Underpaid. We are doing all the physical work that lets you able to enjoy your sit down job in a climate controlled building.

I'm guessing and hoping this is just a troll topic.

Lol, really. I don't know how people are legit gonna bitch when all they do is sit at a computer all day (half of which is probably spent on Reddit or some shit) and talk to people.

If more white collar jobs were unionized like blue collar jobs they would be paid better.

If more white collar jobs were unionized like blue collar jobs, they'd move to Mexico and Bangladesh too.

They're not overpaid, but most 18 year olds who chase a high paying contract blue collar job would probably be better off chasing a job that upskills and educates them, given the choice.

I used to work on minesites where everyone was chasing that high hourly rate gig and it nearly invariably ended in "omg bro, I've been laid off and I don't know what to do, no one else will hire me and the only thing I've learned to do over the past 2 years is lift cement bags".

Personally I'd rather workers not be exploited by the owners' threat of outsourcing their jobs when asking for better pay.
