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.

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.
