or become a professional? I'm guessing you're not in college to work at a steel mill or a grain elevator. Blue-collar jobs are not that hard to come by, anyway, if you want one. But why would you? Because to a lot of people, THEY SUCK! Unless doing the same thing over and over, in uncomfortable/dangerous/unclean conditions, 8 or 10 hours a day, every day, without using your brain, appeals to you. I work at a blue-collar job right now--by choice (the upsides outweigh the downsides for my particular situation). Try it out first, before you make it sound like a really great option. And do well in school, so that neither Best Buy nor the Pella Window factory becomes your only options. What a great country we live in, overall!
