My degree is for a plant manager / project management/ head of maintenance. Its like the head of skilled trades and planning future needs.
As for what I do, I am one of 5 guys. Counting the president and secretary
so I do it all. Some days I make prototypes in the wood shop. Others I am a pipe fitter running new air lines and water lines. Our building does not have a set of prints so I.am drawing one up on CAD. So yes I can do many things with my hands. Its fun. They pay me to do things I enjoy
Over here blue collar is a line worker/ hourly person
White collar is the salary people.
