College degree my ass. When was the last time you called a plumber to your house. They charge more than a M.D.

My word, that's true! I recently needed a new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal hooked up with an existing dishwasher. The plumbing was already in place. Plumbers were quoting me prices around $1200-1300 for the work. I told them (politely) to drop dead. Went to Home Depot, got a piece of plastic piping, got out my tool box, and did the hookup myself in about an hour. No problems, no leaks, everything works. And I'm a lady. The idea of paying $1300 an hour--! I should have gone into plumbing, I'd be rich today.
