Who is a worker nowadays?

[John K. Taber]

I hope we can get this question straightened out; it's
been bothering me ever since I joined this list.

I get the impression that for some list members, one is not a
worker if one earns above a certain, vaguely defined amount.
Thus, a waitress is a worker, while an engineer isn't.

Yet, I've never considered myself anything but a worker. I've
never had anything to sell for wages but my labor. And that
is confused a little because technically I was a salaryman,
rather than a wage earner, but to me that was nothing but a
legalistic distinction.

So, am I worker or am I not?
