Advantages and disadvantages of blue and white collar jobs in Australia?

Generally, a white collar job is advantageous compared to a blue collar one because the blue collar job involves manual work, which is hard and time consuming, whereas in white collar jobs people are usually doing mental work since they are (in theory) more knowledgeable. Another advantage is that blue collar workers are often paid hourly and with lower wages, whereas white collar workers are often salaried and higher paid.
