[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to take an unpopular view here.  But bear with me.  I’ve been around a lot of the trades and while you may find yourself attracted to a specific person, it’s the entire lifestyle and their buddies that might be a problem.  Construction and the trades tend to be a respectable way for people with a troubled background to make a living.  Nothing wrong with that.  But are you going to want to socialize with the plumber’s friends, their families, plumber’s family?  It’s a different world if you’re used to a UMC background of white-collar educated people.

If the guy is rich he will live in a nice neighborhood and hang out with rich people just like other rich people. [/quote]

I live in a city that has many well-off trade and industrial workers. They have their big, expensive houses and toys but it is in a different style than the white collar UMC. There are pockets of blue-collar rich Neighborhoods and white collar rich neighborhoods. They often have different values and different ideas of fun.

My husband got tired of his desk job. He wanted to go into a field that he found more interesting and paid well without student loan debt. He wanted a chance to make more money.  He loves his new job  but he is mostly surrounded by guys who love Trumps, trucks, their motorcycles, and speedboats. He feels like a fish out of water but doesn’t regret changing.

I don’t think it is derogatory to say there is generally a difference between the two groups because I’m certain they would tell you so themselves. [/quote]
