new-collar

Traditionally, salaried professional, office-oriented jobs for college graduates were called "white collar." Upton Sinclair coined the phrase in the 1930’s. On the other hand, "blue collar" workers were those who didn’t attend college or attended a trade school and entered manual labor roles such as construction. “New-collar” jobs are hybrid roles. They are generally salaried professional positions, but do not require a college degree and instead may only need specialized training after high school, for example for software development or programming.

“I’m not going to college, dad. I can start at a $100,000+ with a new-collar role in mainframe security programming.”
