Difference Between Blue Collar And White Collar Jobs by fejeerow(f): 1:27am On Feb 04, 2018 |
Blue Collar vs White Collar Up to this day, there is confusion in discerning blue from white collar jobs. There has been some stigma attached to some, most especially to blue collar jobs. Nevertheless, both job types have their own set of pros and cons. Traditionally, white collar jobs were named as such because these jobs originally required the worker to wear a shirt that is colored white either with a tie or without one. These jobs are often those that require the employee to wear a tie and work within the safe confines of the four walls of their offices, stores, schools and the like. Nevertheless, it can be safely said that the era of wearing the traditional white shirt and tie has already faded away. Still, many professionals like doctors and lawyers still don their ties and perhaps couple it with a white coat (especially for the medical doctors) to give an impression of a more serious stance. On the contrary, blue collar jobs are not necessarily jobs that require the worker to wear blue shirts or polo. It is rather an expression which emphasizes that these employees work in a non-management position like those jobs that may involve workers becoming dirtier because of physically working a little harder. Often, these are the jobs that require protection clothing. So, perhaps the confusion sets in when one would label being a doctor as a blue collar job because most of them wear a doctor’s coat or mask for protection. Medical doctors are white collar workers! Blue collar workers are the auto mechanics, drivers, and factory employees. Unfortunately, there is an undeniable presence of a stigma for blue collar jobs. People often become too judgmental and say that these jobs are just plain ‘dirty,’ literally. Even if most of these jobs are more laborious, not to mention dangerous for the employee because of the workplace they report to, this does not always hold true to all cases. Conversely, white collar jobs have a better working environment that are usually cleaner and cooler. These are the corporate jobs that often have a good basic monthly pay. As a result, many professionals who hold a degree end up with a white collar job while those who didn’t finish college will eventually end up in ‘just’ a blue collar job. Yet again, this is not applicable to all situations. Also, middle class workers have been linked to blue collar while the upper class workers have been connected to white collar. Fortunately for blue collar jobs, the truth about receiving a higher pay for their white collar counterpart is not always true. In several instances, they even end up receiving a higher pay than the white collar workers. 1. White collar jobs are made synonymous to professionals who obtained higher degrees and education. 2. White collar jobs are linked to the generally higher paying type of jobs. 3. White collar jobs often have a cleaner of ‘better’ workplaces. 4. White collar jobs are more corporate and managerial while blue collar jobs are often non management but actual physical labor type of jobs | Difference Between http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-blue-collar-and-white-collar/#ixzz565vhJXzr 21 Likes 4 Shares |

Person go dey do bank teller at 50k per month but tailor wey dey do slim fit for mandilas dey make 3-4k per day. Same for someone riding marwa. We will never progress with this nonsense.

yeyerolling: simple truth so many so called low income earners in Nigeria are richer than office slaves if you earn 30-50k in a month wearing suits ( and a taxi driver is far richer than u) , your no better than someone grinding pepper in the market, or a goat eat seller, who can build houses before you even dream of one so no one should look down on anyone. 7 Likes |
