a good profession with little education is dental hygienist. 2 year associate degree, average pay about 60k. i have a friend who makes 80k although she has been at the same office for about 15 years.
I do that as a hobby, some OK side money too for doing something else I love beside trading. Actually picking up a 99 camaro with 67k miles for cheap today from a 65 year old dude who just wants to get rid of the thing because its been sitting in his garage. Fun to drive it around while I have it, do some work on it, and flip it. A plumber is trading his time, expertise and work for federal reserve notes. Every transaction in any business is a trade, just strive to make smart trades. Whether a plumber , baker, car salesman, secretary or whatever. Some markets may offer more opportunity than others at any given point. We all traders!
80k secure 2 years school i see no complacency here. better word is probably... steady. vast majority of people with masters degrees in business for 15 years dont make 80k. those are just the facts sir.
In this day and age, one must school themselves in an arena which "cannot be outsourced".... plumber, HVAC, nurse, mechanic...
I checked around re "Master Plumber" and picked up a couple of insider "tips". 1) Shit flows downhill, payday is on Friday. 2) All assholes are potential customers. 3) Don't bite your fingernails.
