If someone goes to trade school and makes wise decisions, they can own their own business and make good money.
Remember “Joe the plumber?” He was a plumber making over $200K per year.
I agree. I have a cousin who is an electrician. He worked for a company for about 6, but they laid him off, because of the economy and use blown through his 3 weeks of vacation when they had a major customer. I don’t if I agree with their decision, but he set up his own business 2 years ago shortly after being cut. He makes nearly $125,000 himself, and has hired 2 employees. Needless to say, he is doing well.
