This is a pretty interesting subject because, as you point out, it's heavily romanticized. I have a couple of tree thoughts:

• Both white collar people and blue collar people are retarded, but in different ways. White collar is prone to office politics, HR de-humanization, and subtle backstabbing. Blue collar is prone to extreme gossiping (like well beyond the subtext of the office), open fighting (verbal or physical), and explosions. Blue collar is more unpredictable and white collar is more conformist. Obviously this is the worst of both cultures and a healthy work environment will have minimal drawbacks of either.
• Trades can be very profitable, but because they generate value through physical work, you need to be doing physical labor pretty much your whole workday. Some people like this regularity and some don't. Meanwhile in the office your type of work and output can vary depending on an urgent project, whether you need to think something through, or if you get stuff done early. The ideal situation for trades would be something like getting to the level of this McLaren mechanic where you conduct interesting and highly specialized car surgery with a sick tool setup, or a supervisory/ownership role like u/lgbtqwtfbbq mentioned.
• Trades can mess your body up by hefting around heavy objects with bad posture, work accidents, or exposure to toxic substances, and the office can also mess you up with bad posture, poor ergonomics, or just getting physically lazy and fat. Entirely possible to get fat in trades too of course.
