It's true that working in the trades isn't as respected as it was.
maintenanceguy,
I agree with you. It really bothers me that "we" (some of us) let it get to us. I used too, and sometimes still do. I've worked in the nastiest ditches, smelliest chemical plants, loustest machine shops, and....and....on some of the nicest executive floors in downtown Houston, doing electrical work. I know that most of you can relate. I've had more fun in the worst conditions than the law should allow. Funny thing about those people working in the downtown office buildings (the ones who don't respect us)....most of them don't make as much money as we do. The problem isn't us.....it's their ignorance.
Hey, electricians out there.....keep your heads up....our true peers...the people who count....they respect us because they know the job we do. Hold on to that.
Standing Tall,
Doc
