White Collar is more desk work and clean and air conditioned.
Blue Collar is more physical and dirty.
Pink Collar involves selling a lot.

Don't know what lab workers are considered, not office/desk work, not physical/dirty work either

I'll enjoy my lab work with my breaks and lunch time and fed benefits

White collar.

I'm not good at manual labor and I'm a horrible salesman.

does that mean you are good at office work, or do you just want to be in the A/C?

I always preferred to work with my hands rather than office work. But I couldn't make the money I could using my education for job that included a lot of paperwork. Now I didn't hate it but I prefer the former and all my hobbies are physical activity type. I am retired now ;so that money made it possible.

That's...not what "pink collar" is. Pink collar jobs are occupations traditionally held by female workers, like nursing, clerical, and primary school teaching.
