Topic: Student’s name: Institution: Due date: Blue-collar brilliance People often pay tribute to blue-collar workers by praising their dignity or physical stamina. But according to Rose, people rarely celebrate the intellect of the blue-collar workers (5). Rose celebrates the intelligence of the blue-collar workers, and challenges the assumption that blue-collar jobs require less intelligence and less schooling (Rose 7). It is absurd that people in the present society still believe that blue collar jobs are more manual, less important, and less intellectual than white-collar jobs. People have stereotypes that blue collar jobs are no big things. This assumption is wrong.
