I got close being a framer from 2012-2016. 6 12s in construction was pretty fulfilling and I really liked working with my hands even if the pay was crap. Now I'm an office drone and it's just okay doing a regular 40 for waaay more pay and benefits. I keep doing it because now I have the space to do and buy the stuff I want and not feel economic pressures like I used to.

Sometimes I miss the blue collar job, though. I'm glad I did it but I'm even more glad I made the career change.

Agreed. Some of the YouTubers I watch have said that YouTube is forcing them to make shorts because their videos won't be shown to people if they don't. A couple are even doing a bit of malicious compliance and taking the piss out of YouTube Shorts because they hate it as much as we do.

If we wanted short clips, we'd be on TikTok damnit!
