Do you have a source for this? It's commonly stated, but I've read that earnings for trades are over-stated. Just googling around, it looks like a plumber around here makes $35-70k, which I'd expect most to be able attain in an entry-level corporate job.

The allegation is that reporting on the earnings for trades have focused on how much you can make as an underwater titanium welder, instead of basic steel welding which makes up the majority of the labor market.
