The kids who stop at highschool or go into a trade really don't get that level of problem solving and critical analysis.

I wouldn't be too hasty with the condescension towards the blue-collar working class. Problem solving and analysis is just a service at the end of the day, just like repairing an air conditioner. The value of both services also fluctuates.

I knew I'd kind of eat shit for that...and rightfully so I guess.

Don't get me wrong, the blue collar guys I know are fantastic people mostly. They're probably better people that the elite white collar guys I know.

But give them a problem outside their comfort zone and they flounder bad. They'll get a=b...struggle but do ok with a=b=c...but get to a=b, b=c so now what is a? Don't know.
