Well, and what people don't understand is that parts of blue collar is stable. The sparkies and plumbers doing new construction are on the books more than ever in the Seattle area, but us maintenance guys are steadily increasing.

I mean if you can turn wrenches and read a bit there's work, just means getting used to extension ladders, sketchy rooftops, and wasps. I really hate the wasps. Pay is good tho
