Pretty bold of you to claim us nerds don't do hard shit. I'm only going to speak to my experience, but I'm only one small slice of the nerd demographic. My background is in network design, security, availability, and global network design. I started out life in a car parts factory, graduated to being on the line crew here, before going inside to work on computers.

How much of your logistics would crumble without us? Exchange of knowledge around the globe? Sales and interfacing with other corporations and customers? Security to keep personal information somewhat protected?

I've contracted with several fortune 100 companies in all sorts of different industries all over the world, from manufacturing to attorneys.

You sound a lot like my family. Only hard labour is virtuous, if you aren't sweating you aren't working. Do you look down on people who do what you consider menial labour? I doubt you'll admit it, but I'm pretty confident you do.

Civilization doesn't work if we think like you. Every single person in my life, from the guys picking up my trash to the surgeon that saved my life are important and necessary to making modern life what it is.

Trying to be divisive between blue and white collar in the working glass is definitely a suspicious fucking take in this climate.

A.) I don't believe you. B.) I don't care.
