I think that USA culture at least has certainly gone too far in the direction of "college degree = white collar job = comfortable middle-class lifestyle". From what I understand, the PRC ironically also ended up in a similar situation with a vast oversupply of college graduates.
That said, the article focuses on people who have two jobs (their day job and also social media influencing), so I wonder if this sort of stuff is an overcorrection: romanticization of blue-collar jobs with little discussion of its health risks and working conditions.
