Apparently I hear they pay the most money and have the best benefits

But I know many office workers who only make $15-16/hr and need a 2nd job at nights to survive

Spend like 5 hours a day at my desk playing video games after finishing all of my work and making sizable progress on any projects

You work 3 hours a day and get payed to play video games and you think your job isn't top tier.
I hate white collar workers

Many office jobs don't pay that well. (This goes almost regardless of the degree requirements honestly). Although they'll still very likely pay out 10-20 thousand a year more than comparable "service" industry jobs while being able to avoid almost all forms of manual/physical labor.

Plenty of office setups only have a couple folks making the "real" money. Money that will put you in upper middle class tier at minimum for the area in which you live. The rest of the office floor is generally making just barely ok money. Which only becomes decent when paired-up with a spouse's income stream.

This can depend though. For whatever reason some companies just pay-up to employees and are very fair in terms of industry pay rates. It does happen. And it can be infuriating if your management team is filled with cheapskates.

Im also on-call 24/7 and expected to respond to any network emergencies and fix them myself including going to outage sites in the odd hours of the night and am salaried so no paid overtime, but keep going off.

Sorry some of us are worth more than physical labor because we study extensively for the payoff of being paid for our brains and critical thinking skills, not our time doing manual labor.

Are you trying to tell me you could do the same job as a professional plumber without any study or knowledge?

I don't think many people also realize how much work will go into that. You are basically working 24/7 to run a business and be your own boss.

office jobs are great if they're not externally facing, you don't have a long commute, and your coworkers are cool. arguably even better than working from home.

protip: it kinda feels like this if you quietly automate your job and work from home.

Statements like this literally proving his point that white collar workers suck lol.

This arrogance usually comes from people who can't figure out how a wrench works.

^Thats typical with spoiled, overpaid, white collar workers

They think they're somebody because they had the money to go to school

significant chunk of my last job, especially for the past 2-3 years. felt like i was stagnating for a while because of it, but it also freed up time and energy to work on side gigs, network, and further develop my career. i work much longer hours at my new one but the comp is much better and the role is a lot more dynamic.

The hypocrisy is astounding. There is nothing wrong with blue collar work and its perfectly respectable like any other profession; YOU are the one claiming all white collar workers are privileged. Get over yourself.

Also, my job is generally 80-20 desk to field work. I survey and help plan head end units and work on the low voltage electrical + Im a certified broadband tower climber and have to assist in surveying new wireless links.

But again, keep going off on how your work is so much more respectable because you cant even get your head out of your ass and attack desk workers because youre such a miserable hack.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


It took like 4 years because I had several academic and music scholarships to help pay my way? What does that have to do with anything?

Is this some clown shoes hurr durr white collars are dumb for going to college!! shouldve gone to trade school!! rhetoric?

When did I say I was better off? I literally said D to the topic question. I work for a shitty ISP that undervalues its engineering department and all the network monitoring and pro activity it entails. Still make good enough money to live comfortably though.

I worked multiple corporate 9-5 jobs and even manager roles and the job never ended at 5. It was pretty constant with the later hours. I'm planning on shifting into tech now.

I can't comprehend the notion that having an office job is some unfulfilling nightmare. You sit on your ass all day, do less than an hour's worth of work and can just spend your entire time browsing the web or listening to podcasts.

C if you just want a normal comfortable middle class life but pretty limited excitement in your career.

D if you want to be wealthy or do more interesting things as a career. You need to start your own thing to get those.
