sa OZ ba hindi nagkakalayo salary ng white collar sa blue collar jobs? sa canada daw kase according to my friend na 1 yr na dun, halos pareho lang daw salary. so ayaw na nya mag office work, ok na sya as sales/tech person sa isang merchandise store. and he's willing to do house cleaning as a sideline kase ok daw ang pay. curious lang...
