Trades are good. Get all your certifications and hire others and you will be a millionaire right away.
Until you open the invoice for their Workers Comp insurance...that'll knock you back a peg or three...
“Trades are good.”
An old friend owns a small (10 employee) plumbing outfit in Maryland. He has a sing up all year long for good help. He PAYS his journeymen plumbers $80 hour plus benefits. He said the big plus is there is NO competition from illegals since you must be licensed. And there is plenty overtime. There are some doctors in HMO plans that don’t bring that home now.
