The reason we carry... Man shoots 3 dead in Fresno, yells 'Allahu Akhbar' | Daily Mail Online
I know you think I am nuts but I blame the same folks I blame for the decay of many other things in our society - the media, Hollywood, the University system, the music industry, etc. Other than the efforts of our own Mike Rowe (aka Tex), I can't think of any example where construction workers are 'glorified.' Their efforts prefer to look to those folks as backwards, uneducated and no one you would want to aspire to be.I know I'm a broken record but this shit amazes me. Never seen it broken out like it is in this Young Adults Not High on Construction as a Career Choice | USGlass Magazine & USGNN Headline News
Reasons the young don't want to work in construction:
48% don't want a physically-demanding job - thats easy to see because most of America is overweight
32% Say it's too difficult - thats easy to see because why take on hard tasks in life? It's not like they build character and make you a better person.
26% want an office job - thats easy to see because most would rather never leave their parents basement

Once again it's money.I can agree that many people look down on anyone that works with their hands for a living. It is sad that their children grow up with the same opinion of the skilled trades. I would rather be a skilled tradesman than a software salesman.
