The tradesmen that I talk to want to be computer programmers. Honestly you'd have to ask them, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that computer programmers work in a cool office all day. I have heard the old timers of course complain that the younger ones are soft. But this is far from my area of knowledge

It could be a grass is always greener type thing. Sometimes I am envious that they make shit in that way for a living, but everybody hates it in the ass heat or cold. Mainly the heat for me. I came out Nordic. Even tho I'm only half that.
