“Blue collar” is a term for workers who do not have college degrees. It used to be these people did not do as well as those who go to college, but that is not longer completely true.
Many blue collar jobs are crying out for workers these days. Any many colloge graduates cannot find work.
My ex-husband was a construction plumber for most of the years we were married. But near the end of that time he decided to go to college and get a degree. He noticed how much the job aged those who did it. Most of them had very bad knees after 30 years on the job. He had several types of kneepads, but still they did not help. He was not yet 40 when he decided to get out of that line of work.
Other blue collar jobs might have you on your feet all day, and that can be hard. But in my case, I worked in offices, with a degree, and in a “white collar” world. At the end of 30 years of sitting at a desk all day, I was morbidly obese and could barely move. So every job has its difficulties and perils.

This week I am attempting to be able to pay my monthly wifi bill ($25 usd) and eat ($25 usd). I am asking for help and have already gotten some from my steeming friends. I m so thankful to you and optimistic I will succeed. My wifi is due on my Tuesday, your Monday, since I am in Malaysia.
But $50 usd is now 270 STEEM! Can you believe that? I am not sure how I can possibly continue and this is why I am asking for your help.
Why should you help me? Why do I think I am worthy of help?
I am an asset to the STEEM Blockchain. My constant effort goes to helping redfish and minnows grow here.
I work on three blogs, creating 40+ posts each week. The most important things I post are minnow tips to help others. Here is a post from a few weeks ago with a summary of many of those tips.
I am working on a new set of posts in light of all the new tribes and options for them. It is a whole now world of STEEM now that this has happened.
This is what I do on STEEM:
I post 2-4 posts on each blog each day, cycling through the noted dApps below.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on STEEM when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting, and I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.
