My job is also tough and more recently I felt despair because of pressure. But I remind myself that I chose my career because of good pay, which could improve once I leave my shithole company.

If money isn't an issue, I would pick a more relaxed job. There is plenty of snobbery against blue collar jobs, but they are the most relaxed jobs I have ever had.

I think it depends on the type of blue color job and company as well. Some of them, you're basically breaking your body to get some money and it could really hurt you in future.

I think having your own, or working for a small local business is great. Specially if you have a paid off house and aren't struggling otherwise.
