HuH. This goes against everything taught in he skollz - that “all children must to go to college.”

No, they don’t.

Called a plumber lately? I had to call three before I could find one to repair my broken toilet (lots of family arriving the next day)- they were all booked solid for months.

When I finally did manage to find someone - he charged me over $200 to replace a broken part - a part he had in his truck. Took him less than 10 minutes.

We had a master carpenter living in one of our rentals - always paid six months in advance, in cash - drove a new Porsche - worked in Malibu and Beverly Hills and said he was always booked.

He didn’t charge you for the part. He charged you for the skill and willingness to change it.
