I've spent enough time working with different guys over the years , and most did it because its just a job , while the rest either got off on it , or they were just geared for it and good at it .
we can blame computers for todays incompetence but my generation wasted much of our money and time in arcades , boozing and banging our heads etc , before that was a generation who tried to see how many people can fit into a vw or a phone booth . Don't forgot the dope smokin hippies
Elvis (need i say more)
To each his own , none of us started out knowing it all nor will we leave knowing it all , and as long as there are the few that get off on the trade then there will still be the rest who just need a job .
Whether or not it will continue to produce a decent wage then i suppose that we'll have to wait and see . I still think about becoming a plumber at times , looks pretty simple for the type of wages they make , at $40+/hr I think i'd get used to the smell (eventually)
