I have my MBA, I'm a knowledge worker myself, and I view it from this point of view. It works for me.

The guy you hire to hand out flyers is the former, the guy who you hire to build your cabinetry is the latter. But obviously carpentry isn't the kind of `knowledge work` that's Drucker is talking about.
