^ I think I made it very clear that by "selling themselves short" I mean in terms of pursuing more education. If you're actually going to school, props to you. Like I already said in this thread, my problem is with people who do it for the money and are miserable doing it. If it makes you happy, all the power to you.

thats what they tell themselves but all my HS friends are tradesmen who say the same thing and ive read what they are talking about...it simply dosnt measure up.

The equations are the same, but the amount of understanding that is required and the depth of knowledge really isnt there.

i dont mean to take away from it, because being a tradesperson is somehting i could never do, not because i choose too but because i simply do not have the same ability as my friends. the reality is that comparing the two disciplines is like comparing apples to oranges, they simply are not the same. Even among the different professions the expectations and level of competance required are so divergent that you cannot generalize. There is a difference even amongst the trades, a carpenter isn't simply a carpenter, the branches are greater then the difference between rough carpentry and finish, there is alot of room for specialization.

you're right, the majority of my class doesn't understand why something happens they just know that it does and to use this formula to get the answer.

there are a couple of us that know the why what where and how of it all

but if we are going to generalize - most of them dont fully understand

[Myka]

I was a construction girl for the last 3 years. I know what those construction boys are like!! So my vote goes to the Corporate guys!!! HAHAHA! Mmmm, a clean shaven guy in a suit. Top that with an Italian accent....HOT DAMN!

Unfortunately, I am also a sucker for the chachis. LOL!

sparkies tend to know their shit. if you fuck up at that job youre dead.
its not the same as being a labourer, a job in which i managed to almost kill myself several times.

if i was gonna be a tradesman id be either an industrial electrician or a auto mechanic. that was somehting that i always liked but was never good at.

p.s oh yeah this is a shit thread, theres alot of douches in every profession

yea and an equivalent proportion of office types dont ever make it out of the mail room and go home and maturbate to sailor moon hentai till theyre 30.

construction is full of fuckups cos theres always enough dumbass work to do for people who dont know shit but can lift shit.

offices are full of different kinds of fuckups cos theres always enough simple organizing tasks for people who dont know shit but can sort shit.

[Lush]

I've dated both - if I had to choose I'd pick the corporate guy

Actually, no scratch that I prefer the troubled rock star types :(

[Grapes]

Yeah that was an important cliche this thread was missing

[Discord]

i like em nerdy

Never did I mean to imply that they are less smart. I personally prefer the trades worker guys by far.

but have you ever met a corporate dude who's not smart?

i know a few construction dudes who are a little slow on the uptake...

yeah but it seemed she implied the "corner office" corporate guy.

in my mind that's hardly a fuckup who is just there to orgnize simple things.... hey hey donald....ew.

construction! i like muscle!

[Disco_Whore]

I LOVE seeing my man dressed up in his suit and tie for work everyday, it is soooo hot.

[TrixX]

I LOVE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. seriously, if he's had a hard days work i would love more than anything to bring him a beer when he gets home.

wooooohoooooo, please see todays post about tiedye and blake
p.s. sorry tiedye i know you are a medic(still a hot ass get-up you're rocking though)!

[wishbone]

*throws away BBA and picks up a hammer*

did it just get hotter in here or is it just me

[mithridate]

i definitly tend towards construction boys. something about a guy who can do hard labour as a job is definitly appealing
:love:
i love that they can work with their hands.
*wink wink.. nudge nudge*

business men dont really do it for me.. they are too clean and organized. stuffy.
they wont climb trees with me.
