I'm glad people feel that way, because I'm ashamed of myself for working in a factory. When I was on dating sites years ago I'd "pass" on professionals because I'm not on their level. :/
Blue collar and white collar can work together very well. People that work with their minds need to rest with their hands and people that work with their hands need to rest with their minds. But there is considerable overlap.
Your competing capabilities could make for very interesting weekends in a long-term relationship.
As an engineer, I'm married to a professional, but that wasn't a foregone conclusion. I value intelligence, not necessarily career, other professionals have different priorities. I've dated tradeswomen, women with no career skills, women who've done sex work, and one woman with a bizarre skill set who's a farmer last I heard.
