So professional ladies, following your train of thought. The local garbage pick-up guy, stand a very good chance, if he see you walking up your drive way, hops off his truck and approach you in a very respectful manner, as you described?

wha??!! I have worked for a waste management company and those so called garbage guys make just as much cash as engineers and other professionals, so I dont look down my nose at anyone.

My dad started out as a tradesmen and from him I have learned never jugde a book by its cover because he was well-read and intelligent. More so than your average university graduate. And he made a comfortable living.

yes. here, they're in a union making roughly $35/hour on the low scale outside of overtime. that's job security, banked sick days. 127 sick days per year. the combined household income of us both could aford all the perks with the trip to thailand thrown in the mix.

besides, he doesn't pick up garbage 24/7. water is free and i'm sure he bathes at the end of his shift.

anyway, as Nylah says those trades men make a lot of money. just because him noh wear soot and tie goh a work dat noh mean nott'n. a lot of the guys i see walking around here doing IT tech work not even break the $50K/year mark. university grads are making $28K/year and have $40,000 to pay back on average in student loans.

i say go for a skill. that's where the money is. smaddy haffi pick up big brain garbage, fix dem cyar and unplug their drains.
