blue collar workers

Thank you all for posting. I've enjoyed hearing about your jobs.

Regards,

I am a big city employee. I make decent bucks sitting around doing (almost) nothing, a lifer/loafer.
The pension fund is bulging and safe from takeovers/insurance schemes, and will carry me past any SS disaster when I retire.

easy-Im surprised you would tell this to anyone!

I am fixing slot machines at The Beau Rivage resort Casino in Biloxi MS. But also like to believe that i am an artist, in free time-which is almost never. So my philosophy is: Have a job, that you hate, that pays rent (and beer), and do something else after work that you love to do, even for free! For sanity.

Well I just toss boxes, for a living, really. I don't think that what you do has a big effect on your hobby though. It isn't even a money consideration either, as only a hiet colooar person could afford these products. Just look at guys who enjoy bass fishing. Most of those men would or could be considered "blue collar". Yet, those rigs can be upwards of 60K. Honestly, I think it has more to do what the old school Bose/industry marketing, in so much that, only an intelligent, highly educated, white collar worker would truly appreciate Bose/whomever's products. That is what people see and, sooner or later, it is what is believed.
