blue collar, white collar, or no collar?

i'm posing the question of how many work at office jobs and deal with paperwork and all, computers, etc. and then blue collar jobs like delivery, kitchen work, driving, housekeeping, etc. or no collar like general labor or under the table, or military or students. it's heartening to see us all draw together under the booze. it is, indeed, a uniter. i hover in between blue and no collar.

Even though I answered this in the other thread...

White collar. Sales Coordinator for a yacht manufacturer. Paperwork, boat shows, spreadsheets, meetings. Most of the day is spent in front of the computer, occasionally working, usually wasting time on here or on Fark.

I guess I'm multi-collared. I run a bookshop (online) and so I spend a lot of time being a fancypants manager but I also spend a lot of time sifting through boxes of books, doing collections and trying desperately to sort out the half a million or so books we currently have in the warehouse for cataloging or sending to our London shop.

I'm white collar/blue collar...

I'm an electrical designer for a large electrical contractor...So I'm in the office AND out on job sites in the mud. Thought not at the same time. Seems like it sometimes though...

white. I hate myself for being a part of the corporate machine, but I have no better way to make money for myself and to pay the child support.

so, until then, I will continue the self loathing and collect my paycheck

white. also part of the corporate machine. for now.

may soon be 'working' from home some of the time though which throws up a whole new set of rules when it comes to drinking while at work...

Blue collar/No collar.
During the day, I'm fire alarm tech. A very blue collar gig.
At night, I'm a superhero. A collar would get in the way of my cape.

Strictly, sadly blue here.
That's not without its benefits, however:

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, but there's always breakage that needs to be "repacked".

What kind of collar do newbs on this site wear?

I work road construction in my real gig, so no collar.

Guess I'm white collar in the cubical farm as a tech support engineer. I am in a world somewhere between Dilbert and Office Space.

My collar has gravy on it. I tripped over a pile of books, but I held onto my drink, and the stew tastes great.

blue collar, white collar, or no collar?
