Certainly many jobs cannot easily be described as one or the other, maybe I should have broken it down to technical/ administrative.

Most of my time is spend on the computer programming parts, preparing rapid prototype machines, but then I love to get on the lathe and turn parts or paint visual models. For this reason I believe I have a blue collar job. Not that it really matters that I give myself a label.

I guessed that many people here would work in some sort of technical field due to this being predominately a DYI/Technical forum.
