I worked at a lumber yard during summers while I was in undergrad. Can confirm this statement.

"well the world needs ditch-diggers too, son"

Look, I knew every August I was getting out of that place. So I worked my arse off, worked every bit of OT I could and put a ton of effort into doing a good job every day. All for around $5.50/hour.

The other employees there were making roughly the same amount of money, but that was their livelihood. They weren't going back to LSU in the Fall for school.

I grew up with very little. But I valued education and hard work. And I'm blessed beyond my wildest dreams now. I am happy to report that I am not digging ditches today.
