Arsonists Torch Berlin Porsches, BMWs on Economic Woe

This site has more pikers than I thought.

Notice not one advocates getting a degree or seeking higher education but rather defends the basic dumb plumber.

Salary.com

Median salary of a plumber : $38k

LMAO! :p

Too damn funny. Clean shit out of pipes for $38k a year, lmao. In gnome's world, this is good pay.

So what do you pikers out there do for a living?

lol.. thanks Mom0. I guess I'm in semi-retirement but you never know what will happen in the future. In the meantime, I hope you're in there schooling you-know-who over in P & R.

A what? A degree??

Oh, I have plenty of them, don't worry. I paid for every one of them too. I wish I had the money. They were f**ing expensive.

I'd rather hang out with a bunch of plumbers that 90% of the intellectuals I've met.

Maybe one shouldn't strive to be "median"..

And BTW, $38K for a DAY in the market wouldn't be "good".. "in my world"
 
Quote from blackjack007:

auto mechanic is not a good choice for the future due to the diminishing demand. think about it, how many times does a late-model car need unscheduled service? maybe once every 2 years? virtually all cars nowadays need nothing before 100k except oil, coolant and consumables.

plumber, appliance repair, teacher, medical and dental are good choices

Any occupation which pays well and can't be outsourced...

Like the guy with a degree in History or English Lit and is delivering beds for a living?
 
Possibly the most ignorant posting I have ever read on this forum.

Quote from Covertibility:

This is the piker part of the population.

In the real world, there are jobs for the educated, not so for the dumb ie plumbers, carpenters, etc... Just open up a newspaper, there are jobs for accountants, health care, teachers, etc...

And in Europe, trust me, rising immigrant populations and radical/fascist Islam are a LOT bigger threat than some little skinhead group.

Spot on!

In fact, it's something of a sport, especially in winter, for groups of Algerian youths in France or Turkish youths in Germany, to set fire to cars.
 
lol, all anectotes....how does he make 6 figures being a plumber, unless he owns his own company, employs dozens of people??? (he would then derive his figures being a "business man" not a "plumber".Or you meant he is "plumbing" girls in San Fernadino Valley for $$$? Ridiculous comments....while I strongly disagree with earlier arrogant attitude in the other post I dont find your lack of intelligence any more entertaining...

Quote from 1flyfisher:

The idiots on this website never fail to surprise.

A flyfishing buddy of mine is a plumber. He owns several million+vacation home lake front property in montana, california, ranches in several states NV, & has the $$$cash to flyfish anywhere on the planet as often as he wants....makes well into 6 figures yearly....all from being a "Dumb" plumber.

This is laughable. What about the illegal immigrants who enter into the US. What jobs do you think those people are taking? The low skilled jobs like construction.

Basic economics. Given the low barrier to entry in a given profession, and a constant influx of low skilled workers, one would expect downward pressure on wages in that particular field. This explains why the median salary for a plumber is $38k. It's a job for morons.

You seem to be suffering from this outsourcing paranoia thats been going on. You need to look at some of the data to see that a lot of the outsourcing has been of lower paying, low skilled jobs. Even the trade data shows that the US manufactures and exports high margin, highly technical equipment as compared to the low end garbage that China and the other silly BRIC countries are happy to have.
