- VLM 12y agoThe story from the flight attendant in your link reminds me of my time in the Army Reserves. A true cross section of humanity, from my staff sgt with a degree in philosophy and my civil engineer sgt to some total meatheads, and everything in between, in a big bell curve. Variation in general is immensely higher in blue collar, or the pressure to aggressively conform is much higher in white collar, however you want to phrase it. Blue collar people are just people, but the white collar folks have a peculiar aspiration requiring quite a bit of faking and leads to impostor syndrome and things like that.
