After 18 years of being at the heart of the white collar world I have spent the last three years doing a (relatively well paid and skilled) blue collar job.
My time in that role is coming to an end as I return to my former world again in September, but I have quite enjoyed the experience in the main as I have re-built my life over the last few years. It was borne out of necessity when my business went tits up three and a half years ago. My parents have always taught me the value of hard work and I have never been out of work in my life so I took the opportunity to do this job when it came along and it's been a godsend tbh.
For someone who's always considered himself to be smarter than the average bear it's not something I would have wanted to do for ever, but I'm not so up myself that I considered it beneath me. I have friends who have also lost their businesses in the last few years who are scared of getting their hands dirty and being seen to be demeaning themselves. They really need to get over themselves.
At the works Christmas do, some of my fellow workers were slagging off one of the directors, making reference to his upbringing and background. When I pointed out to them that my upbringing was, in fact, very similar to his they refused to believe me, which I actually took as a huge compliment. I've always been a man of the people ;-) What that does show is that the old divisions between white and blue collar are still there, although less than they used to be, I reckon.
What will I miss? A pint after a day of toil always tastes much, much better than one after a day sat at a desk. Oh, and not having to fucking shave every day.
