Where I'm from even those jobs pay shitty salaries that haven't kept up with the cost of living. I know electricians who can barely afford rent.

Ok fair enough. Where is that? Most of the world has less than enough people for those service jobs so unless you live just in the right place or the planet where almost everyone is a plumber, I'd call that extreme bad luck haha

Oh we definitely don't have enough tradespeople, but their unions have not kept them up to the cost of living. It's causing a huge problem here. The only way to make real money is to start your own business, and most people aren't interested in that or can't afford to.

But that's exactly what I meant can't you go independent? That's weird, tradesmanship here even has unions but they have so much work they can't handle the load ( ayyy lmao) and they are trying to stimulate people to take into this trades.
