I have been told that truckers, and trade workers, are not held in high esteem in on-line dating markets. Consequently, many young men don’t want to pursue these occupations.

Perfect opening for the LGBTQ+ crowd to take over all the trucking jobs!
Spoke with my usual delivery guy yesterday and asked him about the driver shortage. Since his outfit is overseen federally they cannot get enough drivers due to mandatory drug testing. Young guys don't want to give up weed for a starting salary of $38 per hour, full benefits, vacation and overtime. We're going to have this problem with us for a long time.
Someone in the trades?
Most of the people I know "in the trades" are swell guys, and in demand among women.
What would make them more desirable - a college degree in some useless field, and tens of thousands in debt?
College is a very good choice for lots of people, and lots of degrees are very useful to society.
But there is a great need for good minds and hard workers in the various trades. And the remuneration and head-start on wealth is superior in many of the trade fields. (You don’t have to stop being a student just because you drive a truck - and there’s always time to go to college, and more money to do it if you’ve gotten yourself a real skill first.)
We will be able to live just fine without sociologists, women’s studies majors, and many others who come out of University with practically worthless degrees these days - but we won’t live long without electricians, plumbers, Truckers, farmers, etc.
