Hmmm, I really feel like the words blue collar / white collar work does both disservices, as it was initially used for simple jobs versus jobs that employers required a degree for. In today's age, while not all dev work requires a degree, they all are skilled jobs. So maybe we should just focus on the skilled laborer moniker instead?
