The Double Life
These days, people who do manual labor often receive more money than those who work in an office. However, the stigma of manual labor turns some people off. The label 'white collar' refers to the type of work where one does not get as dirty. Such is human nature, that many are will to sacrifice the monetary rewards for the prestige of being considered in a more academic form of employment. I knew a person who was employed as a domestic engineer, but he never told his wife. Instead he would go to work in a suit and change before returning home. His wife never even knew.
I think any form of honest work should be seen as good. Taking care of your responsibilities is what employment is truly about. If it were not for someone cleaning the office, how long would that collar remain 'white'?
