I heard from a friend who had a technician to repair a dryer for her. He charged $210 and it’s considered a reasonable price. What’s more interesting is that it’s his 8th projects that day and 2 more to come to close the day. Imagine how much money the electrician is making (of course, lots of works, too). My friend said to him ‘you’re making more money than a PhD‘ which is probably true.
I think it’s a great thing, there is no better or worse profession but opportunity everywhere. If you do great work, you can be successful wherever you are and whatever you do.
If you love art, go make great ones. If you are handy, help people make things work. If you are passionate about teaching, healing, solving challenges, go make a difference. Together, we make smarter, healthier, and better world!
