He will could get his hands dirty turning wrenches

My dad is a machinist and he doesn't make 20-30 per hour. But if turning wrenches did pay that much, I'd be doing it.

A machinist that doesn't make $20 an hour is working for the wrong employer but I am sure it must have something to do as to where he lives. Wages here on the Texas gulf coast are quite good. My son makes $25 an hour as an auto mechanic. Installing sattelite dishes pays very well also working as a contractor. Boilermakers,millrights, pipefitters and welders are in high demand and they also make $18-25 an hour.
