Why do people work blue collar jobs and struggle to get by. Seems dumb to me. They should just get a better job.

Blue collar jobs can provide necessary stability and often offer higher salaries than some more prestigious white-collar occupations. Additionally, some blue collar jobs may not require a college education, or offer other opportunities for advancement that a college-educated job may not have. Working blue collar jobs can also be a source of pride and self-fulfillment, offering a sense of satisfaction from a job done well or a sense of self-reliance. For some people, blue collar jobs represent the opportunity to provide for themselves and their families, or the flexibility to spend time with family instead of a more demanding job. Ultimately, the decision to pursue a blue collar job versus a white collar job depends on the individual’s priorities, skills, and resources.
