[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 471913, member: 1408"] I know we've discussed this before . Heard a discussion on radio today ,LBC or R5 I think .... construction guy was saying very few youngsters entering the business , its deemed to be , dirty , messy, hard work, & poorly paid . He went on to say that it NOT poorly paid , partly because of the shortage of skilled labour . He quoted Brickies , Chippies , plasterers , painters as being well paid , didn't mention sparks, plumbers or heating engineers , but I'd say the last three were also not poorly paid in the great scheme of things. A carpenter I know well is virtually full time with one of the top of the market , local kitchen & bathroom fitting firms , and is being paid a most excellent weekly figure . [/QUOTE]
