When I started working for my home builder clients, it was eye-opening how much the plumber, the electrician, and some of the other contractors made.
That was when any elitism I had went away. A guy with a college degree with a computer consulting business was way less successful than a guy out of high school who went to trade school and built a lucrative plumbing business. Think about it, everyone has plumbing, but not everyone has a computer. Plumbers routinely charge way more than I do per hour. ************************************************* Joe the Plumber Gear! http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike --- On Thu, 10/16/08, Kristyne McDaniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Kristyne McDaniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [OT] My Favorite Debate Photo > To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, October 16, 2008, 7:46 PM > Bob, > > > "How many plumbers do you know who make > > $250K/yr?"
