WHITE COLLAR VS BLUE COLLAR JOBS: My Preference
I will tell you a story that best describes this, in 2017, I resigned from my position as an administrative staff, an assistant supervisor to join the production department of the same company as a pastry boy, this comes with some extra hard labour, heated working environment, very uncomfortable compared to my former office that was air-conditioned, suitable office and space. with a salary of 20k compared to that of a pastry boy of 14k in a month.
now I'm sure you'd wonder why did I make such a rash decision, ofcourse that's the reason why I'm going to tell you the difference between white collar Jobs and blue collar jobs, many really do not know the difference.

while I was enjoying the comfort of my office as an administrative staffs I had nothing to hold unto should I get fired or leave the company, I needed a skill, something to hold unto, skill that will earn me something better in the future, to become my own craftsmanship my own boss, and so I had to make that decision to secure my future.
here's the big deal both white and blue collar jobs are very important and very necessary,
one of the most common ways to classify jobs and workers is by collar colors, with blue and white been the most commonly known, BLUE COLLAR JOBS basically involves any manual labour-physical jobs such as Manufacturing or construction, any craft works or skills, whatever involves actively or manually having to perform a job, most times its pays in hourly or base on piece rate, While the WHITE COLLAR JOBS on the other hand are performed in offices with works that are managerial, administrative, or clerical in nature white collar workers are often on a salary pay roll

What do you know about blue collar jobs and why it is relatively important when compared to the white collar Jobs
Let me tell you the reason why I had to quite from my white collar administrative role to a blue collar job, the reason is because while white collar Jobs are very good clean and feels great and comfortable the blue collar jobs that most persons would not really regard are more efficient and equally important.
for the fact that it's blue means you're 100% more in control, value for your time, energy and possesion, having a skill means more than just going around doing some random descriptive job
for me I prefer the blue collar jobs because its gives me more sense of being in control of my time maximizing my effort and productivity, doing what I love and loving what I do, I feel the beauty in this is way better than white collar job, altho the major difference here lies in the fact that one is more of a brain work while the other is more of a manual work so to balance this no one is actually supervisor cause each need the other, altho to some extent one has more relevance due to levels or extent of knowledge and expertise needed to handle it such an office or position, but the most important here is having a more sense of yourself and finding what works for you.
like in my case I had to pull away from the white collar job to a blue collar job cause I really needed to secure a more tangible, substantial job, something more lucrative than my current position that is not certain cause I could get fired anytime, but with a blue collar job my value is more secure and my relevance is assured
