My bet is that the stigma comes from indians and third world people who associate it with low socioeconomic status.
But it's worse in India, where being lower status means being a lesser human.

- true_religion 3y agoIt’s not an honor or dishonor thing here. Typically welders earn less than professors in Nigeria. IMO it’s a little short sighted to call the man just a welder. He owns a welding shop with multiple workers. Most welders don’t have that and are single operators or like his employees work under someone else. He’s paying his workers $100 a month. Compare this to the $500 to $900 a month that professors take?
