Although education has become easily available to millions of people in the modern world, many people are still forced into blue collar jobs due to their circumstances. While blue collar jobs may be seen in society as “low intelligence,” unskilled work, it is my belief that such careers require their own form of knowledge and offer experience that cannot be obtained by working in blue collar careers white. Furthermore, those who are able to perform blue-collar jobs may have a harder time finding other careers than educated ones because their skills are already developed, while educated people may not have any good job skills already developed and only retain knowledge academic they have. they may or may not be able to convert into job skills. However, while I may seem biased towards blue collar careers, I still recognize those who have the courage and perseverance to work towards a white collar career path.

This quote shows how Rose's mother, Rosie, approached customers with a "ready to serve" attitude, as demonstrated by the ready pen on the pad. ... middle of paper ... that blue collar jobs had skills and intelligence of their own that could match or quite possibly surpass the skills and intelligence of white collar jobs. Furthermore, it has been shown that formal education is not the only place of learning, but rather blue collar jobs could also serve as a substitute for a learning environment, sometimes even teaching knowledge that could surpass the intelligence of collar workers white. Additionally, through the composition of Rose's paragraph, a person could see and feel the amount of work and thought that went into each worker's tasks, allowing the audience to understand the tediousness of a worker's job. Therefore, it is proven once again that blue-collar careers do not lag behind white-collar careers in terms of skills and intelligence because different sets of skills and knowledge are required for each career..
