Don’t even consider lowering your white collar self to his level. [/quote]

And what level is that?[/quote]

The level of gross blue collar loser.

Seriously, how could you even take him anywhere? What are you going to say when people ask "so what do you do, ______ ?"  And he says "I"m a plumber. I fix toilets" ... what are you going to do then? [/quote]

The horror! A man who gets dirt under his fingernails: what would the servants think?[/quote]

They would probably wonder why I was lowering myself to someone in their station. [/quote]

Plumbers make crazy money.[/quote]

I actually have no idea what plumbers make, but I DO know they don't make "crazy money"... whatever that is. Because if they did, a lot more men who are professionals (lawyers, finance, etc) would instead be plumbers.

So obviously they don't make much.

[b]But just out of sheer morbid curiosity, what DO you think plumbers earn? [/b] [/quote]

Depends on the plumber and how much drive they have. 
I have a friend who is a lowly blue collar electrician. That’s about the same as being a plumber, income wise. He has a lot of drive and I’d guess he makes close to a million dollars a year. He started his own electrical construction firm and has about 200 employees. 
Most successful contractors carried the tools at one time. And the money they can make can indeed be crazy.

Yes,but those odds aren’t great. Out of 201 people, one got rich.[/quote]

I’m not sure you understand what a plumber is. Most of those 200 employees aren’t plumbers put are apprentices and other tradesmen.   He probably does employee a few plumbers but I would be willing to guess that they make a very respectable income. Kind of funny, you claim to be white class that you know very little about industry or business apparently   Maybe you aren’t quite what do you think you are [/quote]

I’d stop trying to explain yourself- many people on this board have no understanding of “blue collar” business and have no incentive to learn, either. For those who do understand- it requires no explanation. [/quote]
