Manual or not
 
Just wondered, is it me or are most applicants manual workers? Nothing against them, I’m one myself. Just don’t seem like there are many white-collar worker’s (pen pushers) going, or the site not posh enough for them. :rolleyes:

Me too. As an IT geeky git (I look and talk like the scientist bloke in the Simpsons, no I do! :( ) I applied through the ACS (Australian Computer Society)...I guess that makes me a white collar worker, even although I dont wear a shirt and tie to work. :D
