If the West is serious about friendshoring, many more will need to carry out manual work — albeit aided by robots. And yes, that means university graduates.
Thanks for the injection of reason. I work as an engineer in a manufacturing plant. We’re short-staffed with a high turnover. However that’s because of the hours, not the pay. This thread is filled with people who think factory workers are manual-labor oppressed people with no upward mobility. It’s borderline classist. Factory jobs aren’t inherently bad or unhealthy.
Exactly. It’s the hours that suck, depending on shift. Do you forever want to live life in 3rd shift? If you have kids, you’ll rarely see them… You’ll be asleep when they’re awake and at work when they are.

It’s just not ideal for most people.
