My definition of "skilled trades" is the old, traditional union building
trades definition, and includes the various kinds of plumbers,
electricians, bricklayers, carpenters, ironworkers, sheet metal workers,
boilermakers, et cetera. Sort of a limiting definition, but the one I
learned. I passed my journeyman's exam in one of those trades.

So, you never passed a journeyman's exam, as I stated.


I doubt if Wayne B ever had to. Krause, the world doesn't revolve around unions, and union labour. But you wouldn't know that, now would you?

I used to work summer jobs in the skilled trades when I was going to
college. They paid well and it was a whole different kind of
education.
