As far as public perception goes
yes, as soon as you start walking/working around a construction site with a hard hat and safety gear then you are definitely blue collar.
If you are walking down a shaded suburban street on a search for corners, as soon as you put that shovel in your hands and start digging a plug then you are blue collar.
When you are dragging yourself out of some swampy lowlands after clearing or running line all day, I know at times that I have been identified as something below a blue collar worker. something like a prison release or manual labor pool worker.
For those who are upset about some aspects of surveying being classified as blue collar workers, so be it. But get real. Yea white collar, maybe for our avatar pictures, we should be in tuxes.
Of course, there are surveyors, who are office ad desk jockeys who prepare surveys, manage crews, deal with clients etc. and never step into the field but they are usually wearing a nice golf shirt. 😐
