Topic > Analysis of Blue Collar Brilliance by Mike Rose

They require intuition, knowledge and sometimes people skills. The author of Blue-Collar Brilliance, Mike Rose, uses the story of his mother and uncle. He disagrees with the statement: “Intelligence is closely associated with formal education.” To support his disagreement he talks about how skilled his mother and uncle are, without continuing their education. Mike uses rhetorical questions from his mother's perspective in his busy work. The premise of the quote “jobs that require less education require less intelligence.” Mike Rose supports this by stating that "intelligence is closely associated with formal education - what kind of education a person has, how much, and for how long - and most people seem to move comfortably from this notion to the belief that a job that requires less education requires less education." intelligence." In other words, Mike Rose says that most people think that blue-collar jobs are for “stupid” people. By reasoning with that quote he can justify why he disagrees with that statement. He tells to the public how his uncle dropped out of high school and continued his life to become a supervisor at General Motors He is trying to tell us that his uncle has authority without advanced education Mike supports this by stating that his uncle had more practical experience and knowledge in his field than anyone would have learned in a college. I agree and disagree at the same time, because I believe that people learn much more when they learn with their hands than when they start their career without education there it takes more years and hard times, because so many new technologies are emerging in our world. Having a job is a long journey of trial and error without education. Going to college will help people save time and prevent many mistakes
