Plumbing and electrician are the first two that come to mind.

Construction would probably be another.

Basically “blue collar” jobs that require a lot of expertise.

I’d guess some variation and small business risk, but I think many do well.

The reason those don't command respect is because they don't pay well in the main.

An experienced industrial electrician gets more than your average software developer, here in NZ.

Software devs in NZ are really badly paid.
