Don’t even consider lowering your white collar self to his level. [/quote]

And what level is that?[/quote]

The level of gross blue collar loser.

Seriously, how could you even take him anywhere? What are you going to say when people ask "so what do you do, ______ ?"  And he says "I"m a plumber. I fix toilets" ... what are you going to do then? [/quote]

The horror! A man who gets dirt under his fingernails: what would the servants think?[/quote]

They would probably wonder why I was lowering myself to someone in their station. [/quote]

Plumbers make crazy money.[/quote]

I actually have no idea what plumbers make, but I DO know they don't make "crazy money"... whatever that is. Because if they did, a lot more men who are professionals (lawyers, finance, etc) would instead be plumbers.

So obviously they don't make much.

[b]But just out of sheer morbid curiosity, what DO you think plumbers earn? [/b] [/quote]

Depends on the plumber and how much drive they have. 
I have a friend who is a lowly blue collar electrician. That’s about the same as being a plumber, income wise. He has a lot of drive and I’d guess he makes close to a million dollars a year. He started his own electrical construction firm and has about 200 employees. 
Most successful contractors carried the tools at one time. And the money they can make can indeed be crazy.

I don’t think most of these people understand that most of the truly successful  financially elite started off in the blue-collar world. How many times have you heard of some old guy who started off porn concrete and ended up owning his own paving company that builds highways and such? I know of one man who started off as a simple painter and when he died his wife inherited over $500 million. Well those are the extreme cases they are not  at all uncommon. And today’s business owners started off as much the same as well. Welders who eventually bought their own truck and then a fleet of welding trucks and a welding shop. In the end they had other people going out doing the jobs and they supervised the work, take care of advertising, payroll and finances, marketing and business leads. 
I think the true issue here is that people don’t really understand what blue versus white color is.   I think that they have an image of a white-collar worker that is not remotely footed in reality. I would venture to guess that most white-collar workers are actually less happy and make less money than many blue-collar workers.  I also think what these women are looking for is more of an image that they are trying to fit into than anything else.   Sorry, but they grew up watching sex and the city a little too much  [/quote]

By the way, please excuse the bad spelling, voice to text on my cell phone sucks [/quote]
