    Every job requires some level of contacts. The idea of a meritocracy is a farse. That said, I wouldn’t have that specific trade would be a job that is in high demand anyway. This is something that the US just doesn’t do well as we’ve leaned on China way too hard for factory work. That’s my completely ignorant viewpoint though since I don’t actually work in that field.

      Yeah, it’s pretty ignorant. My industry in CANADA isn’t in the doldrums. They just are bad as any other employer.
