[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]accounting and info systems together seems to be quite lucrative ....and then you can't knock the necessity for HVAC, plumbers, etc....Consulting takes all business degrees and if you present and communicate well you can pretty much write your ticket advising clients in the federal and commercial spaces.[/quote]

I have to remind myself when reading DCUM the limited view this demographic represents.  I read so often how the plumber can make such a good wage, "just open your own shop" with no regard to the cost of licensing, insurance, a host of other required payments. DCUM universe, licensed plumbers (whether at a small or larger corporate firm) make $25-$32/ hour on average, and the higher scale is for those with 20+ years experience. For those who can't do the math, we're talking $50 -$65k.  Not a bad income, but certainly not the panacea DCUM seems to think it is.  Quite throwing this out as if tradesmen make "so much."  They don't. Decent wage, yes. Rolling in it? Hardly.[/quote]
