My point wasn't about the fact that overall blue collar is making more than white collar on a regular basis, but the fact that it is a respectable profession here in the Alberta area. I was also pointing out the fact that many white collar point fingers at blue collar and make fun of them probably because they think it's "cool", but are completely unaware that those guys might be making more than them.
Many Asian parents think that their kids will starve if they go into trades. The conversations my dad and I have are to allay their concerns. It's weird explaining to them at times that they make closer to $140K vs $40K a year.
