Yep, it can be a gray area, but I put sales in white collar. Although, plenty of salesmen work their asses off. My salesman, who's in his 50's, has to put up a ladder and measure every commercial roof we bid.

Medical rep is a good career. Most need a degree to sell in that field don't they?

You're pretty young, still have to work off that pink collar yet.

I thought blue collar would be construction, manufacturing etc. Maybe I'm wrong

You might be right, not sure.

Wikipedia definition:
A blue-collar worker is a member of the working class who typically performs manual labor and earns an hourly wage. Blue-collar workers are distinguished from those in the service sector and from white-collar workers, whose jobs are not considered manual labor.
Blue-collar work may be skilled or unskilled, and may involve manufacturing, mining, building and construction trades, mechanical work, maintenance, repair and operations maintenance or technical installations. The white-collar worker, by contrast, performs non-manual labor often in an office; and the service industry worker performs labor involving customer interaction, entertainment, retail and outside sales, and the like.

Education:
A distinctive element of work is the lesser requirement for formal academic education which is needed to succeed in other types of work, with many blue-collar jobs requiring only a high school diploma or (in the USA and Canada) GED.[2] Blue-collar work typically is hourly wage-labor. Usually, the pay for such occupation is lower than that of the white-collar worker, although higher than many entry-level service occupations. Especially skilled blue-collar jobs may pay very well compared to white collar jobs. Sometimes the work conditions can be strenuous or hazardous, also known as the three Ds: Dirty, Demanding, and Dangerous. Blue collar jobs may be represented by trade unions or regulated by state and/or federal statutes.

Considering the education you have I'm thinking white collar would be better suited.

I'm in the gray area, Master Electrician, get my hands dirty once in a while, but for the most part I am management. I don't like it a whole lot, but I sit behind a desk and design projects most of the time. I really like being able to get out in the field once in a while and get dirty. Feels like I accomplished alot more.

Depends on the job I'm doing. Mostly blue though. I'm a systems technician (install & service alarm systems like burglar, fire, access control & CCTV). Occasionally I just go around and program others people's jobs though.

Yep, a degree is pretty much a big requirement. I started out working in a hospital. I used to sterilize instruments for the hospital and outside companies. While doing that job - I networked as much as I could and met a ton of people from outside companies. After 8 years of sterilizing and about 5 years of networking and busting my balls trying to get an interview with a company...... I finally got hired by one. I'm really lucky and not a good example of how to get into this business LOL but I did it..... and love every minute doing what I do. Except those long days driving..... those do piss me off......
