they destroy their bodies in order to get you your crappy amazon prime purchase two days after you drunkenly hit "buy now". they should be earning more.[/quote]

Gardeners pulling weeds is also hard work.  Groundskeeping at universities and golf courses is also hard work when it is 100F out.  Hauling trash in sweltering heat is hard work.  Being a chef working 13 hour days for $38,000 is also hard work.

You gonna pay all of them $170k too?  Just because a job is hard work doesn’t mean it should be compensated with insane salaries.  So many jobs that are hard work require no education or special skills. You’re just meat for the labor required.  Overcompensation for those jobs is going to obliterate the economy once those labor costs get passed down to consumers.  Say hello to permanently high inflation.[/quote]

Well, it used to be that plenty of blue collar jobs earned you as much as some white collar jobs. After getting my engineering degree from a top university, I moved to the DMV and had to work my a$$ off. My slightly older Ford/GM family members earned more, could afford boats and RVs, had cottages, and had at least a week off in the summer while their work site retooled. The delta between white collar and blue collar jobs in terms of income is astounding -- as is the snobbery of the likes of white collar workers. [/quote]

Many of them still do - we live in a million dollar house and the neighbor on one side is a plumber and the neighbor two doors down is a contractor. I don't think either of them has a college degree, just years of training in their trades. I don't know why you all think college degree is the only worthwhile education, on the job training is also a form of education. UPS drivers or trade, either way.[/quote]

I would be impressed if you lived in a $3m home with your trades neighbors, $1m kinda a starter home in the dmv these days.   Fact is the higher end hoods, you will not find too many working class folks.  [/quote]

If they own their business and have employees, tradespeople  can afford 3m homes. [/quote]
Yup, like my electrician neighbor. The entire family works in the business and they have employees.[/quote]
