Right so it's just not liking big cities or manual jobs. Well, when you're dirt poor, you suck it up, and go to the city, do manual labor, save up money/learn skills until you can get out of being dirt poor.

I said nothing about manual labor. I have done a lot of it myself, and find it to be far more rewarding than the so-called "knowledge work" that I have also done.
The work ethic in what is called "white trash" societies is very strong. Most are unafraid of manual labor. But moving everyone to cities is not the answer, since it ignores a lot of things that rural people find valuable.
