Would you choose a blue collar job over a white collar for more pay /biz/?

for a 33% increase yes
Depends. If it's a trade, with the capacity to do my own business, then probably.

Yes. Working for a living is far better than officeslave jobs.

Depends on what type of blue collar. I'm an office manager (making just shy of $110/year plus bonuses.)
Farming, mining, fishing, timber harvesting, any of those type industries? Hell no.
Trades like plumbing, landscaping, electrical work, maybe, because I enjoy working on my own home but not really enough to seek it out.
Trades like auto mechanic, diesel mechanic, small engine, carpentry, yes, because I'm a fucking grease monkey on the weekends as a hobby.
I worked as a rifleman in the USMC infantry for 5 years and vowed to myself i would never work a physically demanding or blue collar job again. Im mot against physical fitness we got the gym for dat.

White collar.
Blue collar is tiring and puts a lot of pressure on your body.

Blue collar then move up to no collar
white collar you need some good connections or years of experience to move up, being a desk jokey doesn't pay that well and its pretty awful imo
meanwhile I've been thinking of starting my own bricklaying business, it would be hard work but if I can make it it could be pretty great.
Hell fucking no.
I'm a skinny geek and would be homeless if it wasn't for the magic money making machine known as the internet.
