[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 301546, member: 9789"] Well....here we go again!! Without looking at some sort of census on jobs, I would guess that well over 50%-70% of the jobs in America are considered working class type of jobs. This means that most of America would probably disagree with your comment about lacking respect for the blue collar folks! If you stay grounded and remember where you came from it makes it a lot easier to keep from thinking you are better than anyone else. We all came into the world the same way (with nothing) and we will all go out the same way!!! Oh! If you haven't figured it out yet.... I don't believe that our country looks down on blue collar workers. What you are really referring to is [B]your[/B] perception of white collar folks. You feel that they look down on you or anyone who is "blue collar". This is pure hogwash! Do your parents look down on you?? If they do, it explains how you feel and I am sorry for you. I don't know if you can speak as a parent but I can. If my kids are happy doing whatever they want to do than I am happy. As a parent, I want my kids to live up to their potential but I also want them to be happy. [B]I would be proud if either on my boys were a UPS driver![/B] There are some white collar folks that may look down on blue collar folks and there are some blue collar folks that despise and show contempt for white collar folks. Hopefully both these types of folks are in the minority. What we have to do to eliminate what I call a "class bias" is to work hard to blur the lines between the classes. You do that through education. The harder it is to make a distinction as to what class someone falls in the more successful we have been to reduce the class distinction. Part of our human complexity is our unique individuality. There will always be differences between each and every one of us. You need to celebrate sand learn from those differences rather than degrade them. It all boils down to staying grounded - remember where you came from... We all came into the world with nothing and we will all go out the same way! OH! If you haven't figured it out yet.... I don't believe that the country lacks respect for blue collar workers..... not in a long shot! [/QUOTE]
