There's unfortunately an attitude here that everyone wants "the money" but no-one wants to do any work for it, they all want to be "bosses".

In times past, Blue collar workers were well paid, White collar workers were seen as a bit of a drain on the company's resources and were not so well paid. The Blue collar "men" were seen as the cream of the company because their skills earned the company "the money".

Now, those getting their hands dirty doing the work are regarded as a "necessary evil" and are really, not so well thought of.

You mentioned doctors and nurses, well, here the Health Board management comprises 75 people. Who the heck are they and what the heck are they all doing?
