in reply to Programmers Blue Collar?

White collar, blue collar, its all the same to me.

I'm collar-blind.

I'll quit stealing lines from "the office" now...

I did construction for years. When I switched over to software, believe me the first thing I noticed was the 'white-collar' of the job...

Maybe other peoples' experience is different, but until i have to load up a 80 pound bag of cement or remodel the QA lab, this is a white-collar job all the way.

    Does carrying heavy desktop computers count? ;-)
