Honest work is honorable. Treating it with stigma is dishonorable.

It’s not an honor or dishonor thing here.
Typically welders earn less than professors in Nigeria.
IMO it’s a little short sighted to call the man just a welder. He owns a welding shop with multiple workers. Most welders don’t have that and are single operators or like his employees work under someone else.
He’s paying his workers $100 a month. Compare this to the $500 to $900 a month that professors take?
