that is the average wage.. they are probably taking into account the wages of the apprentices too.

I'm a sparky and I am allowed a 3:1 ratio of apprentices to journeymen in my state. I would say 1 in 10 apprentices decide they like it enough to stick with it long enough to be eligible for a license, and probably about 3 out of 4 actually test out, then after that 1 in 10 jman quit after a few years when they realize they arent going to move into an office position ever.

btw I've been licensed for about 8 years (13 years total), running jobs for the majority of that time, biggest so far was $1m for just the electrical side of things, I make around $65k/year and get a truck and gas paid for. Its a fair living, I could support a family pretty easily on this wage.

does anyone on /biz/ even do anything with stocks anymore?
