[quote=Anonymous]"Blue collar" =/= poor, dead-end job. My uncle was a blue-collar worker--he owned his own business laying carpet. Made a good living. A skilled trade that can't be outsourced to India can be a ticket to a good job and a satisfying career. I hope that my kid will obtain the education and skills to be able to support themselves and not live a financially precarious existence. I also hope they will be people of integrity and good values, and I would feel like more of a failure if my kid was a greedy white-collar worker who defrauded people than if he ended up being an electrician who earned a good, honest living.
