From Cal Newport, listening to Mike Rowe speaking to Brett McKay:

In this interview, as in many others, Rowe argues that skilled labor (think: plumbing, welding) can be both satisfying and lucrative, and yet there are still somewhere around three million such jobs left unfilled in [the USA]. He credits this gap largely to a contemporary culture that demonizes blue collar work and preaches the best path is always a college degree, followed, God willing, by a pair of Warby Parker glasses and a job as a social media brand manager.

(I might have added that last part.)

The wider conversation is fascinating, but the illustration in the quote is the kind of sarcasm that makes me glad to be alive.
