blue collar workers


was just sittin here wondering how many people here at audiogon are blue collar workers.

just curious as to how many people work with their hands that enjoy the same hobby as me.

i myself run a 25 to 30 man construction crew in michigan & all the other hifi nuts i know are not blue collar people.

I work in a large grinding wheel factory. I hang my head over 3000lb. grinding wheels ( while spinning 300 rpm )to support my hobby and my home. We all do what we have to do...
i dont want anybody to take this thread the wrong way,while i do enjoy what i do & it is quite a challenge to bring a million $ project in on time all the people i know in my personal life have a more(interesting)profession than industrial roofing.

i see alot of people who post that have jobs that are like engineering & photography & chemistry so i was curious as to how many people have regular joe schmo jobs like me.

I like to say I use my mind to solve problems then, use my hands to bring it to fruition. : )

I's be a machine repair tech. (injection molding)electronics,hydraulics,pneumatics.Never a dull day in my career of choice, problems are everchanging.
Having access to a complete tool room for "government work" is one of the perks.
I work as a Machine Repairman for Ford Motor Company in Ohio, some times my blue collar is black with grease.
Well I spent 31 years at General Motors Truck and Bus factory in Pontiac, Michigan..U.A.W. Local 594. I only found about 3-4 audiophiles like myself in all those years but no shortage of music lovers. The boom-boxes blasted all day up and down the lines.
