The only thing I would concede is that fresh into an industry you start low, but over time and with experience and then know how once you get yourself set up even those jobs you are critical of can pay decently or even exceptionally well. The woman who cuts my hair does it on her own, basically owns the set up, and 10 hours a day will be pulling in between 10-100 dollars an hour depending on how busy and kind of treatment. Weekends are packed thus I never go. I actually go before opening to make sure I never wait as just five minutes means waiting. For me 8 dollars for a 5 minute cut and a quick wash. Easy money. Add that up over the yea and it is decent. Who is looking down on her exactly? Not the people getting a good efficient service, that is for sure.

People are not especially cruel and know if their child is not cut out to be an engineer, they will guide in another direction. That is actually a big difference as every young person has an idea of where they will go. On the whole I certainly did not have any of that and that simply isn't good for you. To have a skill whether it pays a lot or not is kind of important as you do need to be earning something.
