| Super Moderator   | Actually WetKnife if you noticed the positions requiring degrees demonstrate that if you have your degree you are more likely to make a better wage.

| Senior Member  | I will add one other job that may become in demand. Solar. We have tax credits again and its going nuts here. Its not a job you can get without training. You need to be certified. This year I will have 28 years in the business. I will gladly sell you my certificate, my customer records and everything else if I could quit! Too hard, too old, I dont like ladders or 2 story roofs anymore. And, it can pay darn good. |

I was a carpenter for years, back when you could make real money if you knew your stuff and didn't mind hard work. I'm glad I wasn't even a contractor anymore by the time the flood of cheap labor drove construction wages down to almost subsistence level. | |
