The network miami break typically stalking intelligent pay at chemical and women I worked with wanted nothing more than to visit places like the UK and the Pacific Islands and the Medaterrian, but unfortunately, our hours and wages wouldn't and allow it…Not to mention that they weren't the most secure jobs the world, there were a lot of lay-offs and random days off because of the lack of orders or weather, or whatever came up. Only 2 out of the hundreds of people I worked with were uncultured and ignorant partyers, and those were the ones who just weren't raised to be above the influence…Know what I mean? here's the other side of the coin. I be proud as the day is to be a blue-collar worker. I running machines, playing with tools, working with hands and being able to look at a structure or a piece of furniture and say Hey, I had a hand building that. It's awesome feeling. A not--great feeling though is breathing powdered formaldehyde, being burned, cut, crushed under the weight of things you have no choice but to handle alone because you're working with a skeleton crew…As such, I would have no problem becoming a white collar worker if the opportunity ever arose. It's all about what's best for you. Why all the hostility? everyone gets on here and beats up Why? Does speak of a truth that actually exists, but we aren't willing to accept? Personally, I think is right on the money with all of his comments. Granted they are blanket statements that shouldn't necessarily cover all aspects of both Blue and White collared workers, but he's pretty close. However, this is the main point was driving at: all all, the life path of studying college career higher payscale and better quality of life general, is the superior route. Following those steps tends to produce what is considered a White Collar person worker. Not following those steps tends to produce what is considered a Blue Collar worker person. However, some of the other things says sound a little condescending. You can disagree with me if you want, its only opinion. But he is not. He doesnt even know what jobs are actually blue collar like most people 't. Let me give you a hint service jobs are pink collar not blue. jobs people mention are actually pink or grey collar. Most blue collar jobs require training and critical thinking for a reason. I myself am a blue collar worker and I have been allover the world from Europe to half a dozen tropical islands And honestly the only white collar workers I know that make more than I do are doctors I know LOTS of white collar office workers that 't make much money at all all the things said on here do not hold true for all blue collar workers. as a blue collar worker you can't make me feel bad I actually feel bad for the white collar workers that pay tons of money for collage then come out and make less than half I do I'm sure while they were collage I was making money and seeing the world I have no debt only home mortgage and all the white collar workers I know are living apt and paying off there student loans with there small salaries Electric Makes the World Turn, you write about your income. But the situation you described represents the higher-end of blue collar earnings. To be fair, if you're going to bring up higher-end earnings of blue collar, you have to compare it to higher-end earnings of white collar. People at the high-end of the white collar professions such as Investment Bankers and CEOs, make your entire annual salary one day.. Conversely, you mentioned white collar people on the lower-end who you say only live apartments. But I'm sure when you are fair and compare them to lower-end blue collar people who live trailer parks, the apartment starts looking pretty good. Comparing earnings potential between white and blue collar professions was not the best can of worms to open. summary, on the high-end, blue collar workers own a house, while white collar can own a mansion and a private jet. I didn't want to simply write about financial differences between the two. I wanted to discuss other deeper issues like levels of thinking and functioning, quality of living, etc.., but you brought the discussion here I responded kind. P.S.
