Grey collar jobs mog blue and white collar jobs. But to be completely honest, most blue collar men I've seen tend to be somewhere in the middle economically speaking. It's "safe", in the sense that you'll never actually be unemployed (as in, not having a job while looking for one), but you should definitely slowly make an exit plan so that you won't have to be straining your body well into middle age.

if you can join a strong union youll be pretty well off, IBEW electricians can make > 6figs before their apprenticeship ends in most cities without OT. Can retire before 60 while being a multi-millionaire if you play cards right

You know they make good money and its a secure job. Its also a fullfiling job in the sense that you build shit and help people its tanglible results and accomplishment.Trades are lacking men everywhere in the developed world so the future is only gonna get brigther for those that decide to do it. It will take a toll on your joints and back, but keep in mind most tradies dont take good care of themselves they eat like shit, drink, smoke etc. If you took good care of your body and health you would for sure do better than the traditional tradie.
 
UPS delivery driver when you are young and when you get to middle age and have seniority in the company move to feeder driver aka tractor trailer driver.

Both pay 45$ an hour.

I commented on a thread where a dude said men here should just enter a trade. I gave my personal example and a hypothetical example of how one can start in the trades at extremely young making money instantly to jump start your career and slowly transition to different levels of tech jobs within the same Niche:

My example:
Computer Tech at 15 average US salary/Cyber Security Analyst 27 making nearly six figures/Cyber Security Engineer 30/Sr. Level 33 200k/yr

Hypothetical: Automotive Tech 16 yrs old min wage/Car Engineer 22 just under six figures/yr/Car Marchine Learning Engineer 25 years old 140k per year/ Sr. level 30 years old 300k per year.

In these scenarios you start making money very young, you don't break you back from the labor since you're young and it's a short period of time, then you gain experience that nobody else your age has and you advance faster and can always fall back on past experiences if there are layoffs or anything else comes up.

Trades can be risky. Your physical health and your tools are your life. But if you can find a business partner it can be life changing. If you can find someone capable to do the sales aspect of the business while you do the labor, you could make upwards of half a mil if you okay your cards right. I know several people who have done this

Tbh tradespeople will make so much more in their younger lives from like 18-28 compared to their friends going thru college, all my friends who do trade jobs have money flowing at the moment, long term idk but it’s consistent money and relatively secure, however as you said the health downsides come quick

Sure, you could go from electrician at 18 making 60k a year to electrical engineer at 25 making 100k a year , power systems engineer 30 years old 120k per year then a senior position at 150k per year at 35 years old then retire.

Feel free to check out my post on obtaining a degree and HS diploma simultaneously and graduated faster and for free.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help at all. The goal is to make as much as you can as fast as you can to free yourself in this reality. Once you get to the point when you're almost graduated and have a job offer then it's time to start the investments and freeing yourself. In that case I welcome you to join my discard where I will be helping people with a walk through on how to free yourself step by step with all the required documents and regulations. If you don't wish to be free but be a tax/wage/debt/mind slave for the rest of your life then I cannot help you anymore after you obtain a job.

save up and invest in some asset thatll make you money

saving up traditionally is retarded imo since all youre doing is making the jews richer and you poorer
