Generally there are 5 main types of job categories:

  • Blue Collar
  • White Collar
  • Sales
  • Traditional Business Ownership
  • Investment

A Blue Collar category is somebody involved in Manual Labour or a Service Provider.

Here is the wikipedia explanation of a Blue Collar worker:

The question is can a Blue Collar job meet the 23 attributes listed above?

A White Collar category is somebody involved in Managerial / Office Work / Not Manual Work

Here is the wikipedia explanation of a White Collar worker:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-collar_worker

Within the White collar category there are also two types of employees:

  • Achievers
  • Hiders

Achievers start off great, fantastic attitude, want to climb the managerial ladder. Voice their opinions and ideas, work their butts off and whole heartily want to succeed and make a better life for themselves.

However achievers have to learn politics to get to where they want in the corporate ladder. Initially achievers are seen as threats to the existing higher management, so to get higher they have to play the politics game and befriend the bosses. So ending up not really being an achiever just a suck ass.

Think about your current place of work, is your manager in his / her position because they work hard and they are achievers. Or is it the case they now politics and can suck up to the bosses and get the high paying managerial roles.

Hiders on the other hand keep their heads low and do the minimum they can get away with, just to get paid at the end of the month.

The world is changing and in this new economy Hiders will find it difficult to hide.

The question is can a White Collar job meet the 23 attributes listed above?

Sales, Traditional Business Ownership and Investing all come with greater risks than your Blue and White Collar category's.


The World Is Changing Towards A Performance Economy

Right now and more in the future you will be paid for your performance and no longer just your time.

Hiders within the business place will now have to perform at a higher level or run the risk of loosing their jobs.

Think about four current areas for a minute waiters / waitresses, fast food restaurant servers, teachers and bank clerks.

When visiting your local fast food restaurant how many times does the server try to up sell products to you.For us the customer its very annoying well it is for me I just want my food, however here is clear evidence of a performance economy. The server has been tasked with getting as many sales as possible and you would probably find that his or her salary / monthly reward would be affected by their up sales performance.

Who knows a waitress or waiter, they generally get paid a low salary and are given the opportunity to earn extra by their performance skills in the form of tips.

Teachers and bank clerks are expected to take work home so that when they return to their place of work the next day, the nightly efforts will successfully achieve a better performance and schools will meet ofsted figures or sales targets.

This performance economy principle can be applied nearly everywhere.Cleaners will have to clean more, bar tenders will have to pour more pints, the list goes on and on.

Having a performance economy will allow company's to lower basic salaries, so initially saving them overhead costs and in turn if the employee does not produce the owners will not have lost any more money. They would also have manoeuvred the position of continued employment into their hands where they can either sack you or alter your current basic pay grade.


Network Marketing Isn't Perfect Its Just Better

If your going to work in a performance economy, which everybody in the end will. Is it not better to work in a job which nearly hits every attribute listed on the perfect job / perfect business list detailed above.
