["I am proud to report that today every one of them could buy a car wash."]
i should clarify my car wash statement.
to work in a car wash you need no experience. anyone off the street can buy one. but no one off the street can become an electrical contractor. it takes years of experience to become qualified and your wages during that period are probably not going to be any better than any other line of work. at least in my experience. (this area has few unions).
so the return on your investment of time would probably not compare favorably to spending that time in college studying something like engineering where the salary and working conditions would be generous in comparison. from day one through retirement. yes, some elec contractors make a lot of money but they would be the exception in my opinion.
on the other hand, not everyone is suited for office work. myself included.
