Nothing blue collar!

Describe something you learned in high school.

The past few weeks we needed a plumber and an electrician! Oh boy! They are so busy! They charge so much and act as if they rule our house when they are in!

These are considered blue collar jobs! Hey, in high school we respect courses that are white collar and jobs that are the same.

I really wish we were taught a few things in school about plumbing and electrical work! Of course taxes I studied as a subject being a business student but my husband as a science person never did learn about taxes!

I think there must be some classes to teach basics of running a home.

It seems most kids can’t read an analog clock these days! Found this clock in a museum! Times have changed!

  1. I perform minor level of electrical work in my home. I can use a drill machine, knows about most of the hardware tools and a little plumbing. Also, I can clean up the kitchen drain pipe, which is something I really don’t like but to make my lady happy, I’m the man for the job.

  2. The trades are emerging as important and resilient skills to have, especially in the advancing AI age. I think they are very respectable jobs and they pay well too – as I learned when I needed our toilet issue fixed. 🤣 I would be happy if T pursues a job in the trades one day.

  3. That is strange. Look what technological advancements do to humans. And I agree we should be trained in certain basics of running a household.

    1. I didn’t have any interest in plumbing or electricity! But I think I should have learnt something!
