The reason why most tradies are arseholes towards people who work in offices and say things like "They sit in an office all day and don't do any real work" to doctors, lawyers, designers, managers etc is because they are mad that they still have hard feelings about high school and how they dropped out in year 10.

This is the same reason if you say words like "statistics" or "socioeconomic" that they sarcastically go "Awww looks loik we got a fucking college professor here ay Kevo"

Most of them are still pissed off about teachers telling them they should get a good education still after all these years.

Piss off you ABC wanker

Asians aren't human

>>71674516
tradies earn more than the average office pleb anyway
>>
>>71674680


They hurt my feelings every time they tail gate and hoon around like wankers in their high lux utes with fucking timber and cement mixers on the back.

>>71674746
Yes, but no amount of money if worth being uneducated and talking like Darren and Damo.

I agree.
Many australians are astoundingly stupid.
My hypothesis; It's related to being descended from criminals.
>>
>>71674859
darren and damo are dole bludgers not tradies, it sounds like you have a problem with meth addicts and got them mixed up with tradies
>>
>>71674960


Have you ever spent much time with tradies?

Darren and Damo aren't far off.

>>71674516

Blue collar workers in Canada are often the same way.

>Go on Normiebook
>See people in trade jobs posting memes about how "real men wear overalls instead of suits" or about how "working in a trade guarantees more money in a month than a university graduate makes in a year"

It's like ultimate butthurt. I wonder if tradies realize that within a few decades most of them will be replaced by robots?
>>
>>71675088
It depends on the trade and degree though.

Mechanics don't earn a lot of money, they are like the arts or graphic design degrees of trades.

Doctors and lawyers make more money than most brick layers without fucking up their backs.
>>
>>71674935
and inbred idiots, dont forget that!!

>>71674960
six of one, half dozen of the other.
>>
>>71675088
They know they have shitty lives, they have to do hard manual work for a fraction of the pay a guy sitting in an office gets (most of them do). They try to justify themselves somehow.
>>
>>71675218


They often say things like "It's the tradies that do all the real work when wankers in suits just sit in air conditioned offices".

Yet it's often people in offices that do the civil engineering work so whatever their building can go ahead or designing the architecture or working as a pay role officer.
>>
>>71674516
tradies earn more than most of those people though lol

most tradies are average, decent people, not arrogant.
>>
>>71675548


They are arrogant as fuck.

I had to do some work on a construction site and they were straight up telling me to my face that I don't do a real job just because I work in an office and shit like that.

I fucking hate tradies.
>>
>>71675628

Just think, though, they're only acting like that because they have an inferiority complex. They know that their jobs (while decently paying) haven't nearly as much prestige as an office job.

They know full well that when someone asks what they do and they say "construction worker," a lot of people turn their nose up at them.
>>
>>71674516
I've done some labouring and a few of them said that they don't know how people could work in an office all day and that it was inhumane. Meanwhile we're out there in the sun shovelling fucking dirt.
>>
>>71675628
I mean some of them earn more money than me but I don't go around calling people bro and wearing my hat backwards, where singlets as casual attire, have shitty tatoos that are poorly drawn or a girlfriend that looks like a stripper with bleach blonde hair, so it kinda works out in my favour.
>>
>>71675741

in australian culture being a tradie is more respected than being an office jockey
>>
>>71675811
those are called FUCKING FAGGOTS anywhere else. I had a job working tile and flooring, where this one guy on the crew was always griping and bitching about something. he would go off on these pill fueled rants about how horrible it must be to work for some company with actual benefits and perks, while we were in this fucking house that was being built where the one room was hotter than satans ballsack and the thinset was drying in the buckets. our boss fellout from the heat and this faggot with no chin and a queer moustache was ranting and spazzing out.

goddamn i hate him still.
>>
>>71675845
You mean bogan culture.

Normal people respect doctors and school teachers more than tradies unless you are living in a rural shit hole or somewhere like Mt Druitt.
>>
>>71674516
>Tradies
Ahh so they have quite the reputation in Australia eh
>>
>>71676135

maybe if you're a chink, take notice of the next election campaign and take notes
>>
>>71675741
>haven't nearly as much prestige

Speak english you queer
>>
>>71676331
Funny, because I am not a chink.

I bet you had bogan parents, went to a bogan school and grew up around a bogan social circle and so that's what you think most people are actually like.

I think so

Nah, it's a degree.

>>71677172
no

>>71677314
i work in IT without a degree
>>
>>71677427
Most of the guys I know who work in IT have liberal arts degrees, couldn't get good jobs, so now they rely on their self-taught computer skills
>>
>>71677482
IT pays really well actually.
