lol…you do realize that these “lame trade jobs” are in very high demand and pay pretty well once you are experienced. :bloated:

Plumbers:

Electricians:

Looks like a pretty damn secure job to me :gotme:

Plumbers - The middle 50 percent earned between $11.05 and $18.69.

Electricians - The middle 50 percent earned between $15.43 and $26.90.

Unless I am missing something… yawn.

Im not even out of school and making more than most plumbers…

edit: In cost estimating my buildings, I have become very familiar with what these guys make. And while its respectable for a trade job, its nothing thats going to make you wealthy…
