| Entrepreneur | Banker | Investor | Doctor | Accountant | Lawyer | Politician |

| Gold Collar |
| These people are going to be cash-rich 19-year-olds and cash-poor 30-year-olds… If you're making 22 grand a year and not paying for college, you can earn enough disposable income to have an apartment and a car. But it tops out there. Job security is not good, and you end up in the lower middle class and working poor. |

The most stable jobs are in the blue and white collar areas.

Jobs based on luxury (maids, car valets, etc, etc)  have the highest job instability.

I agree

Young REAs who don't plan on staying in the job for long but just want to "get rich quick" are gold collar, but those who want to make it a proper career fall into white collar.
