Where I work now, I don't need to wear a suit...but, every other job I've had previously, I was required to be in suit, tie, the whole thing.
Now, I can wear my camo cutoffs with impunity where I work :) If I were doing this job at the other places I worked, though, I'd be back in a monkeysuit. Ed |

BA in History. Blue collar worker for the last 10 years. Of course I have one of the easiest, highest paying jobs in the company, but that comes with senority. I've always made good money at the company, but it wasn't always the easiest.
I make about as much as I did when I was a CPT in the Army, if you subtract the flight pay I used to get. That's an interesting observation in itself. Ross |

Attended college but decided that I could make more money working rather than waiting for someone else to cut a check so I went out in the world and conquered.
"retired" when I was 27, got bored, started a few small companies, built them up and sold them. Now I'm 32 and bored again. |

I teach special ed. Do rubber gloves count as protective gear? Is it white collar or blue collar? I don't think I make enough money to qualify as white collar. [:)] Well, college plus 45 units of credential courses with a few more to go. Sky blue collar, I guess.

Profession: general manager. It's a white-collar job, but I still have to wear a uniform because I often have to cover for guys that don't show-up for work.z |

Almost didn't graduate high school (found it boring).
Attended a tech school called PSI for computer programming. I was the first person to ever graduate that school with a perfect 100 percent score (4.0 GPA). Wasn't enough to get me in the field though. 1 college class for HVAC. 4.0 GPA 5 college classes which got me a certificate in Corrections, but I decided I didn't really want to work in the prisons. 4.0 GPA Currently a blue collar worker who is thinking about accounting. I just dread trying to go back to school now though due to my rotating shift (1 week of first shift, 1 week of second shift). |

I was offered a post-doc there in Chella David's lab. Turned it down though - too damn cold!! Chose UA instead. [puke] The cold ain't that bad. you get used to it. The key to surviving winters up here is to get out. Snowmobiling, skiing,etc. Plenty of people up here hide in their homes for 6 months of the year--they get a little wierd by the end of winter. I'd move south if I had to do that. At Mayo I worked with Dr. Tom Smith. Did Virology and Parasitology. Very interesting work-state of the art at that time. I left there in 1990. |

BS Horticulture - Washington State University [b] GO COUGARS!!![/B]
With that, I [b]could[/b] go work for a consultant firm (Wilbur Ellis) or USDA or WA Dept of Ag. What do I do- Farm. Took over the family farm. Didn't like the idea of a desk job or riding around in a truck all day looking at peoples fields for 10 hours a day. I have buddies that do that.... I like being my own boss. (Hey, I could yell at myself for being on the computer right now, but I had to do payroll...hee, hee, hee) Granted, I put in 14 hours on my own place.... at my choosing. For play $$$$, I took a part time job as a public employee.... school bus driver. (I call it baby sitter w/ a CDL) |

Operatorerror, You should add fulltime student to your poll. I get the feeling there are alot of us on this board.
Also I think webster's definitions of white/blue collar are outdated by about 30 years or so. There are many clerics and other low level office workers now who I would not consider white collar. To me white collar means someone who has some authority or actally makes decsions, no just anyone who doesn't wear a uniform or protective clothing. |

BS in Optical Science (Laser and fiber optic stuff not eyes). Only took 7 years between working full time and messing around. No I work for a small optics company as a application engineer, technical sales and network admin all rolled into one. Love the job it was worth the effort. I don't feel at all bad about taking so long to finish because I got lucky and met my wife in school. She is the smart one. BS in engineering physics AND math and a MS in Physics and she did all that in 6 years.
