I used to like wearing a tie, wore one every day for work and took pride in not opening the collar while wearing it. Not anymore for some reason I lost the enjoyment and now it's a chore to wear one. The interesting thing is now a tie would be odd for any of those jobs except maybe the technical instruction and even there no big deal to not wear it. Even a lot of management no longer wears one.
As a kid I recall going on airplanes and people were always dressed up - my mom dressed my brother and I in ties and sports coats to get on a plane.
