I despise the meager salaries university graduates receive after long years of study. They receive paltry salaries that are barely a fraction of what an average construction worker earns with physical effort.

Don't compare so one-sidedly. Manual workers may earn more money but do you know what they have to go through? They have to work 10-12 hours under the hot sun or pouring rain, they do hard work and almost non-stop, or worse, they can have an accident and lose their life at any time. Not to mention, the job is unstable and can be fired at any time, they may have financial difficulties.

Meanwhile, as an office worker, you get to work in an air-conditioned environment, enjoy full insurance, salary, annual leave...not to mention, you will have the opportunity to be promoted with a better salary.

I don't know if there is any difference between our countries, but in my country, most of the poor people are those who have no education or degree. People with degrees may not always find jobs in their field of expertise, but they do not lack job opportunities and can come up with their own business ideas using the knowledge they learned in school.

I respect your discussion of the issue from all sides,I may have focused on one aspect and neglected the others, so thank you for leading the discussion well.

Yes, I agree that freelancing, especially construction work, is not easy and involves many difficulties and risks. While working is easy and offers other convenient benefits not available in freelancing, there are freelancing jobs other than construction that are convenient and bring in a lot of money without much effort. However, we must acknowledge that every job has its pros and cons.

I will speak from my personal experience in this field. I spent more than 20 years in a job, during which I was unable to save any money or acquire anything of value. My salary was not even enough to cover my monthly expenses and those of my family, and I was often forced to borrow.
But, in just a few years of my freelancing online, specifically in crypto, I was able, thank God, to save a good amount of money, move to a new, more expensive home, and purchase many items I could not previously afford. This, of course, was in addition to expanding my monthly expenses.
