Seems that trade workers don't get much press these days. I've wondered it it has to do with intelligence.

It’s certainly possible that some of the decline in the public image of trade workers is related to their perceived intelligence. Recent studies show that people with lower education and socioeconomic status are generally viewed as being less intelligent compared to their higher educated and privileged counterparts. So, it’s understandable why these negative associations may have emerged, even though they do not necessarily reflect reality. Additionally, the work of trade workers is often hard physical labor and may not be considered glamorous or intellectually demanding, which further may contribute to the negative image of trade workers.
