I have some college experience, but I don't think I want to finish it. I hate it with a passion. Is there any field in the blue collar job market that pays reasonably well? A trade school or something?Advice please!

Plumber, electrician, contractor...I pay some of these more than I pay my lawyer.

Interesting question. I think if I was trying to find a blue collar position, I would try to avoid working for a company by looking for a town/city job. In the communities I have lived in, there have always been the people maintaining and upgrading the parks, staffing the city's various departments inside (doing who knows what), on and on and on. I bet the quality of local government jobs vary by region on the country, but in some places it is nice and respectable.

The tedious jobs pay really well -- like toll-booth operator and Stop/Slow sign holder at construction sites. Also, UPS drivers get paid fairly well.
Then there are the jobs that others have already mentioned--plumber, electrician, construction worker.

you think of blue collar human beings purchase American? the place did you get that? bypass to Walmart sometime, the human beings procuring there at the instant are not prosperous, they are not administration varieties donning italian fits...And Wal-mart isn't merchandising plenty made in usa at present. once you could settle for which you will possibly settle for the actuality that those blue collar workers have a brilliant sort of reasons that they did not vote for Obama, and specific a number of them are racist, regardless of if it isn't the only reason. i've got self assurance between the main important reasons is believe. Blue collar workers are plenty like previous human beings, they desire to take their time to get to understand human beings. while the primaries began, all of them knew who Hillary grew to become into and needless to say there grew to become into 9 different human beings who they could have heard of, yet did not understand to nicely, yet all of them knew hillary, so the listened to her, examine her regulations and desperate, yep, she'll do. They others could have had the same regulations, and could have sounded super, yet they only did not understand them fairly nicely sufficient. previous human beings and blue collar workers are much less possibly to contribute on line or spend time on youtube staring at speeches, and so as that they, for regardless of reasons, at the instant are not a extensive sector of Oprah's objective audience the two. it is my opinion that the numerous previous human beings and blue Collar workers that did not like Hillary 10 years in the past yet are balloting for her now, will discover they like Obama 2 years from now. there are a number of reasons previous what I gave, a number of those human beings who are not besides knowledgeable as others are extra complicated human beings than we could think of, and that they have extra perception than we offer them credit for. they're individuals and that they don't seem to be as dumb as Karl Rove treats them.
