Hey everybody, my name's Kim Seever. Welcome back to my channel. A few weeks ago, someone posted the following on a local Facebook group. If you kind of forward to work without gouging customers for tips, then you can't afford to work your current job. Maybe if you had studied something market-facing instead of some useless university degree, you can get a trade and be making $150,000 a year with zero debt and no tips required. Here's the thing about useless degrees, though. Our society isn't set up for everyone to go into the trades. Our society would literally fall apart if everyone who went to school became a plumber or a welder. Burgers need to be flipped. Coffee needs to be poor. Roads need to be repaired. Ditches need to be dug. Clothes need to be sold. Groceries need to be stocked. If everyone went into the trades, no one would be flipping the burgers you order when you go out to eat. No one would be pouring your coffee at the timmy's drive-through each morning. No one would be digging the ditches of the newly-twinned highway you're commuting on. No one would be selling the new work close to the union. No one would be stalking the shells of the store when you do your grocery shopping. Our society depends on labor. It depends on all sorts of labor. Some of that labor has received a high value from society, such as doctors, lawyers. Some of that labor has received a low value from society, such as line cooks and servers. But regardless of the value, that labor must still be performed. The demand for the products of that labor still exists. As long as that demand continues, someone must make those products. So either stop demeaning these necessary jobs, or start paying them more.
