Exactly. All the poors whine about how they aren’t paid enough and blah blah blah.

Well when you get out and start a business or two and realize how much effort / energy / time / stress / risk / capital goes into a successful business you see exactly why so many jobs are low paying.

The low paying jobs are so fucking easy and simple. No capital is ever risked. No complexity or backend work. No real skill involved. Anything that can be learned in a few weeks, everyone else can do too. Try learning how to be an electrician or a plumber in a few weeks 😂

Yes, generally poor vs not poor just comes down to knowing how to learn. And I would say electric and plumbing are both easily learned online. And would add that just cause someone is a paid electrician doesn’t mean they have learned the skill. I worked at a solar company and they would hire anyone and send them out with no training 😂😂 (downstream fiat effect since the whole industry is funded via debt aka money printing so nobody thinks they are risking their own capital)

A real electrician is a skill that takes significant book and experiential learning, typically in the 3-4 year range. Where I live it takes 8000 hours of work as an electrician trainee for journeyman to earn their license. It’s no joke to be a real electrician. And that’s why they earn $100+/hour.

8000 hours to earn a fiat institution license. (Which does not matter). Not necessarily to become an expert in the trade
