I hear what you're saying, Don, but...I really don't care about the
Canadian economy. I avoid Canadian built GM vehicles.
You guys should stick to providing fish and running lodges up there.

BTW, the best jobs in the future for many non-college grads will be in
the skilled building trades, especially plumbing and electrical work.
In those trades, starting pay rates can exceed $75,000 upon satisfactory
completion of a certified apprenticeship program.

What percentage of *certified* electricians make that salary? What area
of the country?


Looking for work?

Nope. My work for pay career has been over for 14 years.

I believe that your salary quote of $75K for plumbers and electricians is
quite a bit over what a *very* high percentage of those folks receive.
