Used to be Patriotic Ass Kicker, in the Navy for 9 years, then got out to real life, and straight into Blue Collar hell as a forklift driver.

Well, lately it's computers mostly, though that is technically white collar if you do it for a bank, which I do. though in the beginning I not only worked for a bank fixing computers, I made change at a porn store and bounced at a goth/industrial club on the nights and weekends.
Now I just fix computers. I miss bouncing though, it's fun when people offer you their date in exchance for continuing to have sex in the club, even if you don't accept. |

Sure it is, Derek. Marine and intelligence in the same sentence :rotfl: :rotfl: In truth, I knew quite a few Marines when I was in the Navy. There are IMO only two types: 1st enlistment mini-Rambos 2nd and further enlistment guys who actually have their shit together. |

Former Patriotic killer (497 trans, and 2cnd Ranger Bat- Huah!) turned failed student (damn you Evercrack) turned computer guy. Which is what I am doing now for the State Of Alaska. It only took 6 years to get a decent paying job.

Uhm, does working in the games industry count as Computers, Academic, Artist, or White Collar? :?

You didn't have a category in there for the medical field, unless you include us in 'white collar'?

definitely classified as white collar. I think he's categorizing anything that lands you in an office, or equivalent, as white collar. |

True. Very true. An ape with a banana has a more impressive resume than half the workers up here.

I'm the only Asskicker on the boards? By profession I mean. I'm sure you're all asskickers preserving your amateur status, maybe for an Olympic run.
But you know, as a former USMC infantryman (0311) and a current doorman, there's very little asskicking to it. Its mainly being able to talk to people and getting them to understand that doing something (not coming in, leaving, not fighting, paying their tab) is whats best for all involved. Its a business, and there's no real benefit to roughing up the customer base. (I find being sarcastic is a lot more effective than attempting to be physically threatening.) |
