I'm in the trades, blue collar workers normally have to be independent thinkers and adaptable because you not only need to know your own trade but you have to be able to pull other trades out of your ass when shit hits the fan. When someones wall falls in from rotten framing you're now a framer.
PhDs and other high skill jobs like Pilots, ATC, etc. are normally great customers, want to learn what you're doing and why you're doing it out of genuine curiosity and respect.
Bachelors and Masters are almost always shitty customers. They think they're smarter than you (I did 3 years in college and learnt multiple trades) and that means they get to tell you what to do and how to do it and then fall back on the customer is always right when they dont get their own way. It's a fucking delight when my boss says "just do whatever, just make sure to write WARRANTY VOID over their copy of the contract".
Teachers. I fucking hate. The only ones I've liked working for are retired.
