yes but take into consideration that the “middle” are the ones that are in the service indusrty such as maintenence facilities and such. Also, many plumbers are in unions, and have not yet reached the master status. Once you reach this level, you can easily make over $35 an hr. which is a decent wage.

Yeah, I guess. Isnt $35/hr only like $70k/yr though? Thats still a good wage, dont get me wrong, but its nothing special.

Compared to non-skilled jobs, those trade jobs are great. But compared to (most) white collar jobs which require a degree, they kinda suck.
