In my observation mentally with Mr. Roses essay on blue collar brilliance, Mr Rose tries to tell the reader on the different levelsof work there is for high educated people opposed to the non educated. Furthermore he tries express through his family experiences in the work environment how a person with a manual labor is not so different than a person with a high level of education, they are equal in job to job views but not in society. “My mother Rose Mesaglio (Rosie), shaped her idenity as a waitress in coffee shops and family resteraunts” (Rose, 2009) This is by far one of my favorite statements offered by Rose, from my own experiences in the work field. I like Rose’s mother Rosie started from the “not knowing” when she started her job, to becoming a highly qualified waitress through hands on training. Take note there is no college eduaction needed for this highly physical job. When I started my work I was as uneducated as Rosie, but in time through hard work and on the job training I was able to adapt to my enviornment and eventually I learned many things along the way for example, I learned just like Rosie using short term memory which finally developed into instinctual movement. Also note I learned how to problem solve, deal with customers, be a leader, and develope a sense of pride when all these traits were molded into one cognitive thinking process. For instance like Rosie I adapted to my enviroments when a problem came to be an issue. Education in a formal sense is heavily structured by a society that relies on technology and ab economic stand point. People of this generation tend to believe that a good eduaction is the easiest way to move up the ladder in almost any field chosen. School in turn does not give you the hands on lessons that are learned in a work environment, simply makes you book smart. While on the other end of the stick you have your manual laborers,who basically do everything
