When I hear people say about white collar workers something like: I couldn't handle working in a cubicle all day. I think to myself, yeah, it does kind of suck, but I don't consider that making fun.
For blue collar workers, say it's -40 outside and somebody says something like: sucks to be them today. I would probably say, yeah, that does kind of suck, but I don't consider that making fun, either.
Is something like that what you mean?

It's more of an implicit thing, where the attitude is that if you don't have a degree from a university you're not fully developed, so you'd better get one and anyone who doesn't is lesser.
I do think that attitude is changing though, as many tradesmen these days are fairly sophisticated business people.
