The Old Lady

Wrong career

I have decided that if I have children I am going to mention the idea of plumbing/ electrician to them. We are in need of the services of these people for our new house but they are impossible to get! And equally impossible to afford! It really is a great skill to have - if i was in any way practically minded i'd consider doing it myself. These people can choose when/where to work and almost what they want to charge! It is a miracle if you can persuade one of them to come around your house to have a look at what needs to be done so you are therefore almost obliged to pay them to do whatever needs doing, no matter what they are charging! University is over-rated anyway. The only thing I learned there is how to pass an exam and a few things about independent living (which was great!) but I certainly dont remember any of the substance of what I was taught all these years later...
