My buddy has 8 full time plumbers working for him, each one gets a van, tools and gas. None went to college, one is a convicted felon due to a youthful indiscretion. They all work unsupervised most of the time, make 6 figures a year, and will never be unemployed unless they want to.
Another thing is most of the trades people are at least 40, more likely 50 to 60ish and nobody coming up to replace them.
