Everyone in blue collar jobs knows the secret is to get into management or change fields before you start getting up there in years.


Maybe, but that’s not always feasible. Change fields? To what? Maybe teaching, but not every blue collar job can do that, let alone not every worker is capable. And not everyone is fit for management either, and for every manager there’s at least 10 workers under them, so there isn’t space for everyone. The ideal is to actually improve conditions, especially factors outside of the worker’s control, so as to allow them to have a proper retirement.


If only there were enough management jobs for everyone.
