You have no concept of how much real, practical, hard scientific knowledge goes into creating the physical world around. Go look at a 5 axis milling center. The level of intelligence required to program and set up those machines is easily on par and or higher than the baseline required to do 90% of office jobs.
Seeing zoomers shit on trades is retarded, you are doubling down on the exact "I'm too good for that, I have no idea what it actually entails but it's a shit job" boomer mindset that ruined this country. I got into the trades in part because every retarded boomer was telling me and every other kid my age that college and an office or medical job was the only way to a good life. Not being a retard myself I could see that if everyone was trying to get those jobs we would end up in the musical chairs game that white collar jobs have become. I decided to side step that and it hasn't been bad. Obviously the boomer economy effects everyone and I feel the squeeze but I have a real skill set that can weather any storm. If I survive the nuclear war I'll still be in whatever the new middle class looks like.
Edit: obviously I'm talking about one trade, I can't speak as much to plumbers or electricians, but the buddies I have in those trades don't seem to regret their choices either. I can't say the same for about 40% of my highschool friends who did take the boomer advice and saddled themselves with $80k-$100k of debt before they earned a penny
