Lamacchia is a successful blue collar business owner, and he has teamed with journalist Samburg to write this guide to blue collar careers. He shows how these "necessary jobs" are often recession-proof, impervious to outsourcing and very lucrative. The authors outline the necessary training paths for careers in carpentry, machinery, roofing, electricity, green technologies, truck driving and broadband technology to assist readers who are just out of high school, looking for a change or negatively affected by the current financial crisis. Real examples from successful people in blue collar industries are also included.
