The people who talk down about the trades only do so until they need a 
plumber. Its interesting how people act when the toilet won't flush...

 There is an old joke about a doctor who arrives home after a double shift only 
to find his basement flooded.  The doctor calls an emergency plumber who 
arrives promptly.  The  plumber fixes the leak in about an hour and .hands the 
doctor a bill for $700.
The doctor is floored by the cost and exclaims that even he (a doctor) doesn't 
make $700 an hour.  The plumber shrugs and says that back when he was a doctor 
he didn't make that much either.

When you get right down to it, society needs plumbers, mechanics, farmers, 
teachers, trash collectors, etc. a lot more than it needs lawyers, bankers, 
stock brokers, government bureaucrats, etc.
