are college degrees & white collar careers all fucked now from AI and WFH and H-1B? should I go into a blue collar trade instead?

>should I go into a blue collar trade instead?
Sure but boomers wont hire untrained apprentices unless youre his nephew or smt

was assuming i'd go to community college for an AAS(applied associates) in plumbing or w/e.

AI can't automate it. H-1Bs aren't going to be shipped over to do it. and basedjaks can't take it via WFH from their mancaves on their gaming rigs or "digital nomads" et al.

You arent trained after graduating trade school. You gotta find someone to take on you as an apprentice. If USA is same as Canada, boomers are going to want 5 years of experience from fresh grads so theyll hire their nephew or smt

Degrees are a joke and the school-career lifestyle led to a near-collapse of civilisation. The h1b scam has actually done more damage to companies than it has sorted, and AI is almost certainly going to replace low IQ Indians.

What you are clearly lacking in your life is a deep philosophical perspective that allows you to think laterally and not feel like you're trapped on a single path to a destination of failure or success depending on how you view it at the time, and it might be surprising to learn that many who get the careerjob of their "dreams" often collapse into major depression because they no longer have a "next".

I'd recommend you get into arguments about the point of life and civilisation is and try very hard to win. You will likely get your shit kicked in badly if you genuinely thought /pol/ was the place to reassure you about a lifestyle that broke down in the 2000s, but the bright side is, you will get better from every loss as lessons will be revealed to you.

The future is going to be more clannish and made up of renaissance men. It's very important that you try to find your clan as your clan will give you a reason to live when you feel you don't have one.

sounds retarded

Already oversaturated and boomers won't train anybody. I think in Canada they make about 30 an hour or so, and they still have to go to school. Yeah it's better than gender studies but a meme still. Another thing is the type of people that work blue collar jobs, it's infinitely better to be around onions redditors than overgrown edgy 12 year olds who think being an asshole is a personality or high school dropouts, junkies, ex-cons.

what isn't a meme though
