Description



About the Book



Raising Blue-Collar Kids in a White-Collar World is a bold call to arms for parents who want to raise grounded, resilient children in an age of entitlement and ease. In a culture where elite education is often prized above common sense, and where young adults expect success without sweat, this unapologetic book offers a different vision: one rooted in grit, humility, and moral strength.

With the frankness of a business owner who's watched the workforce shift, and the heart of a parent who wants more for the next generation, Conor Gallagher challenges modern parenting norms that coddle rather than cultivate. He argues that while white-collar dreams are worthy, they mean little if our children lack the blue-collar soul--the tenacity to work hard, embrace suffering, take responsibility, and persevere with grace.

This book is not about rejecting ambition or education. It's about forming the kind of character that can stand strong in adversity, that doesn't crumble under criticism, and that values contribution over comfort. Through engaging reflections and real-world wisdom, readers are invited to rediscover the lost art of tough love, personal responsibility, and virtue-driven parenting.

If you want to raise kids who aren't just employable--but dependable, courageous, and spiritually anchored--Raising Blue-Collar Kids in a White-Collar World is your essential guide. Grit isn't optional. It's the foundation for greatness.

Are you ready to raise kids who can stand tall when the world leans hard? Then it's time to get your hands dirty and raise them right.
