Every now and then, I’m rewarded with a light bulb going on...

If you're an electrician you get rewarded even better when the light bulb goes out.

I’ve been welding industrially for 30 years. Never heard of anybody making $150K. Must be multi- certificate guys with massive pipeline experience. I make fair enough wages with good benefits. But nothing near six figures.

Stop using that J-B Weld, you'll probably get a salary bump.

I know illegals have invaded the home construction/carpentry market, but I didn’t think they were impacting the electrician’s jobs. Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting. Do you have a concrete pump to match?
