    they assume one of those is hard because they think the finance bros are A. doing math and B. actually determining the risk/reward ratio. Moving a box from a ship to a truck they can understand, so it sounds easier than how they think investing works, although the opposite is true.

      Also, being a crane operator is a blue-collar job that doesn't have the same status as white collar jobs. The finance nonce wears a suit and tie do naturally he should be paid more.

      Lmao sure staring at a computer screen and reading numbers can be hard, but its got nothing over having outstanding kinesthetic visualization of the movement of multi-ton machines that could easily kill people and cause massive disruptions to the supply chain, and have the fine motor control to make the movement happens.
