Finding money and meaning in the blue collar trades
- xupybd 6y agoSo good. I work for a guy like this. Dropped out of school at 16 to work in a trade. Now he owns and runs a massive business and has written some of the code that runs a very complex manufacturing system.
- mr_gibbins 6y agoI have a lot of respect for tradespeople (my dad was a builder) and there's money to be made everywhere. I just paid a few hundred for some damp-proofing - a couple of guys, taking their time, doing an excellent and non-backbreaking job, good cash money for it too. Their rate of pay per hour was greater than mine, tapping away at my keyboard.
