Blue,

did you read that? see, there are plenty of high paying jobs out there. you just went
into the wrong field. the plumbers, electricians, carpenters rake in the big bucks
because there aren't enough of them out there to meet the market demand. their jobs
can't be outsourced because their work is physical and must be done on site.

don't be lazy. do some research and find out how you can become a plumber.
