I've been in the trades. Everything in this article is real: the hard work, the internal hierarchies, the safety and health concerns.However the main point is: just pay attention to who is telling you to get a job in the trades instead of a knowledge one.

The conclusion was yours to make. However a sibling comment put it succinctly: it's the ones wanting to lower the value of your labor.But now that you're asking:It's the ones that need to make wild claims like that your brain is obsolete so they can continue operating at a huge loss.It's the ones that have multi-year investments in data centers so would very much love a discount on the trades price tag.It's the ones that want to monopolize and control the price and value of intellectual work.It's the ones that have been claiming that engineers will be out of a job in 3 months for the past 3 years.I can keep going but I think that's enough.
