Why do intelligent people work blue collar jobs?

I've heard him speak, and read his written work. He's clearly intelligent and well-spoken. Why does he work a blue collar job? People in the comments were kind of surprised at this reveal.

Blue collar jobs are the closest to what humans were meant to do. The conditions might be bad but it's better for you as an animal than being in an office 9hrs minimum and then hide in your cave.

Even if you enjoy doing it, which is my case to some extent (and I WFH). Screen time and being forced in a chair fucks you up mentally.

yeah, it's also way more satisfying doing stuff with your hand, like you can see what you're producing, but with White collar crap, it's all abstracted away so you don't get that same satisfying feeling.

And now here in Spain with daylight savings sunset is at 17 30. I finish my job at 17 so I only have 30 minutes of free time with natural light. Amazing!

The standard for intelligence is just being well spoken? In that case, any posh guy that went to private school will be classed as intelligent by you
