OP, is this realization just now hitting you lol? I had this convo with my colleagues 5 years ago.

I work in big tech and have no concerns about my kids. DH and I need to be able to hold on for 10 years to retire, I am nervous about that.

[b]My kids are young but all interested in blue collar jobs that exist in the real world, not just the digital world.[/b]c They will be fine.

Oh, I just LOVE this post! It is so DCUM. You admit your kids are young, so just admit they don’t know what they actually want to do for living, as the vast majority of 18 year olds do not. Not to mention, they may try something and hate it.

And, coming from a blue collar family, as does my husband, I just love it when white collar, privileged people post crap like this. It’s so naive and condescending. I’ll let you in on a little secret: blue collar jobs are hard — hard on your body, hard to stay in business, and hard to keep the hustle going. There is a reason why blue collar workers want their kids to get an education. But sure, romanticize it to your kids as you like in your privileged, little bubble.

No need to be nasty.  White collar work is dreadful frankly.  You're just sitting in front of box having meaningless conversations half the time.  Of course people yearn for something else.[/quote]
