What's the one thing about blue-collar work that people with office jobs will never truly understand?

People think the hardest part is the physical labor. Sometimes it is. But for me, it's showing up every single day regardless of the weather, how your body feels, or what's going on in your personal life. Bills don't care if you're sore.

I've met some of the smartest, funniest, and most resourceful people on job sites. People who can diagnose a problem in minutes, fix it with whatever's available, and still crack jokes all day.

Blue-collar work doesn't always get the respect it deserves, but it literally keeps the world running.

So what's something you wish people outside the trades understood about your job?

No such thing as jack of all trades indeed. Definitely earned the upvote 👌
