One practical bit of wisdom: as inflation and housing costs increase, you'll notice that the prices of the homes in the suburbs, where most people are buying, have prices going up much faster than rural areas. A consequence of this is that the home you might want to buy could fall underneath the mortgage minimum at most major banks.
This happened to us when we were buying our house back in 2022. Most banks required a mortgage to be for either at least $75k or at least $100k. The house we were buying cost less than that, and we were putting $10k down. But we were able to get a loan with a small, local bank that was more familiar with the local area and typical housing costs there. Looking in that direction might also be helpful to you if you end up in such a position.
Such banks do charge slightly higher interest rates (think 0.2% or so higher). But on the other hand, you deal with real people in the local economy rather than handing your money over to a monster like JP Morgan. I'd probably recommend looking into it even if it wasn't required given the price of a house.... And if it is required....

There's truth in both sides of this.
Plumbing is a productive mode. It's not the sort of profession that would be fulfilling for the highest IQ niggas without a penchant for it.
So they should become politicians and such? No, to succeed in those fields today requires that you tarnish your very soul. Our ruling class has set things up so that in trying to change things, you will ruin yourself.
Bright men must find something they can do that fulfills their basic telos, their God-given purpose, while also not tarnishing their souls, the very most important part of themselves.
It's difficult. But luckily, they're intelligent and that brings with it some chance of success.

On a different note, there's reason to avoid using plumber as your example. The average person's perception of plumbers is lower than for most trades:
Is thinking like that immature and stupid? Yes, but it's common perception, which is nearly always immature and stupid.
Ergo, plumber as an example is provocative, but it also makes the case less convincing. Using it will lead to your critics insulting plumbers, and with current public perception, those insults will tend to win out. Sad, but it's how it goes.
I recommend that you opt for carpentry as an example. It's more neutral in public perception, and it makes the anti-working class vitriol more self-apparent when folks see insults being thrown at Christ Himself's mortal profession
They work on the poo poo part of the house, man! Gross.

The European diaspora has to internalize that it doesn't have a civilization anymore. What was once our patrimony is now our grave. To survive we must accept that we are exiles.
Currently walking around the Walmart parking lot without shoes on, leaving a trail of footprints. This is what us poor people do for fun while others are making money.

What a funny place for a sloppy audio cut. NYT didn't want to publish a defense of slavery but didn't want to cut out the screed against it is my guess.

Aside from the potential of the cut defense of slavery, these are probably the most interesting clips from the interview.
First two are pretty classic Yarvin; the first covers the topic of voting and how we mostly care about politics as an avenue to feel important and powerful when we're actually not; the second is a defense of monarchy via the idea that it's in a monarch's interest to improve human capital. The third is novel commentary on the upcoming second Trump term; the comparison between Trump and FDR is illuminating and focuses on how while their personalities are similar, FDR was a hereditary aristocrat, a member of one of America's first families of nobility, while Trump lacks such a distinction as someone outside of America's social upper class, undermining his confidence and effectiveness as a leader
