I'm 55 years old. When I was in high school my senior year (1980) I had a friend that was an apprentice plumber, he made $18000 that year. I worked in a service station I made $6000. And I thought I got well paid. When he graduated his dad, who was also a plumber, gave him a work van equipped with everything he needed. He took his licensing test, passed it and he was in business. I thought, yeah but that's a really shitty job, literally. But he's retired and I'm still working.
