I grew up in nowhere Illinois with a blue collar family. Honestly the values my family had growing up align pretty spot on with blue collar workers I’ve met in the Bay Area. The problem with tech is the self centered elitist culture. The job filtering is extremely narrow and you need a specific background to get in the door of most places. Blue collar workers are suffering everywhere (cities, rural) and it’s obvious the rest of America doesn’t care. When these workers turn to alternatives they’re dismissed because they weren’t lucky enough to be born with more opportunities.
