sad to see more white collar people, than blue collar these days.

BLUE COLLAR, THROUGH AND THROUGH. There's no way I could be stuck in an office all day. More power to y'all, preciate whatcha' do for us, but it just ain't for me or my kind.
 
currently white collar

started off blue collar



all thanks to my father (God rest his soul), the owner of a general contracting business who worked me into exhaustion on a regular basis. who then funded 90% of my college costs, all thru his own hard work -- not one student loan or debt incurred.

in the end, i used to be the 'dirty jobs' guy. i can lay brick, i can pave cement, i can lay a roof, i can wrench many things on an automobile. And i still have the hard, blistered-scared hands to prove it. but thanks to the notion of the american dream, and a real life actual father who wanted his son to be more, i now sit at a desk typing computer code all day long for the past 18 years, and make a very good living doing so. and i carry a very strong appreciation for what 'hard work' truly is.

Given the price point, I consider it white collar if it's purchased new and assuming we are operating on general socioeconomic stereotypes. Having said that, a lot of "blue collar" guys make piles of money. I know high trained electricians making upwards of $50,000/month in Canada's oil patch. I just figured the blue collar guys would gravitate more toward pick-ups regardless of economic status. More likely to be handymen/do-it-yourselfers etc.
 
Since I work on the railways and Australia has a fascist type OHS regime I'd call myself Hi-Vis collar.....no seriously ya gotta be on ya toes working around flying metal objects like trains.
 
Don't really know how to categorize myself, I am a FSN sports writer but I've never worn a collared shirt except for the interview and I am a high school baseball coach and that is a primary blue collar sport and from what I know so I'm kind of both in many ways.
 
White collar. I have a couple of new white collar cars in my driveway, but my blue-collar supercharged 5-speed 3rd gen is by far my favorite.
