    Are people actually still talking trash about tradesmen? Come on, what year is it supposed to be?

      Year is irrelevant, as long as class exists (working, owning, and middle deluded worker, aka “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”), so will classism.

      Yea well… Tell that to the Indians. Tradesmen are looked down upon quite a lot here (cuz they also tend to be poor and of the lower castes).

      I didn’t know people were talking trash about them. When I was a kid my parents warned me to do skooll gud so that I could get a cushy office job instead of a low paying back breaking job, not that those professions are shameful or anything like that.

        But I think there’s still that implication that those jobs are for less intelligent people and that they’re less desirable.
