My post wasn't a jab at ya Prof...it was actually a jab at the classifications many use for skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor and to that, "working class".Professor Tiger wrote:I'm just saying the term "working class" is well-established enough in the language that it's in the dictionary. It basically refers to people who don't earn much money. I'm still not sure why the mere mention of "working class" in a post gets puter so upset.
You can't be a skilled laborer without a 4 year degree career field, but that doesn't mean you are a skilled laborer. It also doesn't mean you are worth a shit at what you're doing.
Ergo a farmer can not be a skilled laborer. How many have not only the ability to plant but the fortitude to work land? I wonder if the POTUS is considered a skilled laborer. We ain't had one of those who were worth a shit in a while.
