Generally speaking, they have low academic qualifications and rely on manual labor or time for wage income. In our daily life, there are many such migrant workers, such as cleaners, waiters, couriers, construction workers, roadside vendors and so on. To be fair, their life is much more difficult than that of college students. Sensibility and rationality will make people think about another question, that is, why do college students earn more than migrant workers?
For example, Andy, the barber, graduated from junior high school at the age of 15 and began to learn crafts in the city. Since my brother washed his hair, he has been bullied by big workers every day, and he doesn't know how many hairs to wash and perm every day. 22-year-old, graduated from Xiaoming University and entered the workplace. At this time, if Xiao Ming lamented, why didn't Andy go to college and his salary was so much higher than mine? God, come on, Xiao Ming, did you study hard in high school? Did your university become deserted? Andy has been doing it all these years from morning till night and on weekends, but he can't do well in the manager's scolding and the customer's scolding, and finally became Andy's teacher. If seven years is a lifetime, it is also a lifetime.
What is the situation abroad? According to statistics, the wages of blue-collar workers abroad are higher than those of white-collar workers. The average annual income of elevator installation and breakdown repairmen in the United States exceeds $73,500, and the annual income of some bus drivers in Tokyo is as high as 6,543,800+million yen, which is more than twice that of white-collar workers. In 2009, the salary of civil servants in Singapore was 235,475 yuan/year, while the salary of road piling workers ranked 100 was 286,848 yuan/year.
There is no difference between selling physical strength and selling brain power, and the salary is not necessarily high or low.
Generally speaking, college students have more employment opportunities and labor security than migrant workers, but a college student without ability and experience is not necessarily better than migrant workers, especially migrant workers with many years of experience in a certain field.
By the way, I have many relatives in the countryside, so-called migrant workers. They generally have no better source of income in rural areas and can only sell their physical strength in cities. They may not have any entertainment except work. Even if they don't earn much money all the year round, they can get most of it back during the Chinese New Year if they don't default on their wages. Many people are in poor health, but they are forced by life, work hard, get up early and get greedy, and are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and they are afraid that they will not get paid. Every time I walk on the road, I will look at the workers who maintain the road and see the workers on the scaffolding ... I sincerely hope that their wages will get higher and higher.
