Why are manual jobs treated so disparagingly in contrast to office jobs?
As a tradesperson, such as a roofer, you work 40 hours a week, which means you're physically demanding and exposed to extreme weather (35 degrees Celsius in the summer/subzero degrees Celsius in the winter). Furthermore, the physical activity means you have a much higher energy expenditure than someone who works in an office, and you therefore rely on a higher food intake. However, this workload isn't even remotely fairly compensated compared to someone who turns on their computer in the morning while working from home and can plan their day leisurely and leisurely.
Don't misunderstand the question, but at some point you have to make such jobs attractive, but the big differences start with the training salary.

Physical work is now considered to be something dirty and physically destructive. Many don't want to do anything with that anymore. Many also seem to have seen with their parents how much the physical work makes a mess. Many also think that the work is just something stupid.
I would say exactly the opposite. You already need a certain amount of intelligence for the craft. It can be decisive if I find a mistake in a machine as an electrician (or not at all) and I need 1h or 3h.
On the subject of wages. In the cut, one earns more than one academic profession in the crafts sector up to 60 years of age. It's only from there that academics earn more.
Because a lower + middle schooling is sufficient for craftsmen. We live in Germany, where a higher education has always been counted as an elite + the proletarian still makes a "men" before the doctor or architect. We're still living in a class society. However, the wages there are no longer so bad + in addition, collective wages are negotiated by employees + .geber. As long as there are third parties, I don't really have anything to do with it. There are many new professional divisions that do not have any tariffs + pour with money only.
You don't need Abi for an office job.
It was about the reason for the reputation.
What really lasts is done mainly by craftsmanship. Those who do not appreciate the art of craftsmanship, in which one has to make his hands dirty, have only grasped half of life. All they touch, what they sit on, suck their plates away their dust, or get them by car, has finally been created by craftsmanship. Although much is produced by robots today, the prototypes of the robots have been created mainly by craftsmanship.
How poor is office work? In the end, only what was created by art is managed. In this area you do not get your hands dirty, but besides a lot of written paper, there is little creativity.
But the fact that the office work (White Coat) is still considered to be even higher than the workshop work (Blaumann) lies at the elite value system of our society. Actually, the art of crafts should have a higher reputation than the bureaucracy.

It is also important to see how much brain pain is needed.
I'm someone who can turn on the PC in the home office in the morning and let the day split free as a system administrator. There's no day like the other one. It is necessary to constantly master new technical challenges, so that users like a dispatcher can still classify the craftsmen for the different projects tomorrow. Otherwise, some craftsmen may have a few days of unpaid forced leave.
I don't want to evaluate another job, but maybe to rethink what might cause more violent impacts in a company: IT that doesn't work anymore, or a roof that will be covered later, for example.
And cover roofs, there's one like the other. However, with all the interlocking things in IT, there are countless possibilities for errors and associated complete standstill, which, I think in this example, can be remedied or prevented significantly more knowledge and skills.
You did not answer my question but felt insulted personally, so I will report your answer, please read it correctly. Covering roofs is one like the other?! Of course, a sloping roof is like a flat roof. And please call me a rooftop company which is absolutely dependent on IT, or a car workshop! And in order to cover a roof or room a roof chair, you need much more skills and abilities and have to deal with many more tools, as if you sit on a PC and bit on the keyboard. But if it rains in your house/apartment or the bricks fly from your roof and as a result we can talk again
In my opinion, the comparison is not that simple.

Younger problems – now have all professions.
After training, the craftsmanship passes the office relatively quickly with good performance. Based on a classic three-year training.
And in the case of training, it is important whether collective agreements or not.
