14. Collar colors are another way.

"White collar" = 'desk' employment, yet these people are 'mostly workers'. ("Pink" and "blue" collar = skilled workers, not necessarily with degrees, who often work with their hands directly in some way.)

The non-working, "investor" class are professional owners. They own money, and that money works for them, busily making them more money. They don't have to do anything, but some are power-hungry narcissists.

Those very few own most of the world's wealth. The rest of us -- whatever our degrees or jobs -- are just the "worker bees."
