Pretty much everything I've done or had interest in doing was considered pink collar, with some gender neutral collar jobs in there as well.

How about 'No Collar' Employment. That's what I'm talking about!

LOL :lmao: . Those should have been options when I created the poll :doh: .

I guess the "other" option will have to suffice :chin: :D .

I would work a low-paying white collar job (and there are many out there) before working at a high-paying blue collar job, even if I had the right skills. My socialization gives me white collar values and a feel for white collar politics. Besides, I rather enjoy sitting in front of a computer screen for long stretches, and having climate control.
