Working on the construction sites for the last 4 years I have seen a lot of things too. A lot of these trades pay ridiculously well, but work can be spotty at times, you may have soem sucky commutes ( I have met guys whose commutes make mine look like a stroll in the park) and you can also have a lot of political BS withthe companies and the unions. Construction seems to be the last arena for a lot of corruption that still goes unchecked so you gotta deal with that. But I have seen soem of these trades that make upwards of 70 dollars an hr. The moneys def there but you need to be ready for the lifestyle too.

Most of the electricians in our little circle are spending more time on furlough each year. One of ht guys in our neighborhood is a carpenter and he was out so long he took a job at a friends company doing marketing stuff.
Knowing folks who work at Stony Brook and a couple of other hospitals, I'm amazed that more bitch slapping has not occured. Everytime I hear stories about how they run things (admin\IT side) .......
