Sorry, trades people earn not that much.

  Trades people employed for some unscrupulous business owner don't earn much indeed, but their employer is basically shoveling piles of money. Independent contractors who own their own business are making bank. Source: my uncle is a self employed plumber. He can't even reply to all the calls he's getting and has to turn many down despite asking for a lot of money. The fact that he's not paying much in income taxes, doing most jobs on a handshake deal and cash payments helps a lot too.

    That’s weird. I would say, that plumber’s clients might require official pay documents for insurance reasons. Sometimes I am thinking, that I need to open my own shop as electrician and work as electrical engineer part time. I really hate sitting all day and electrician’s tasks are not too hard on the body. Dust can be dealt with using modern equipment attached to decent vacuum.
