Walter, the best thing about the trades is that artificial intelligence can't replace you. Well, I mean, yeah, hands on, hands on work. You can't, you can't, you can't AI that.
So here's something that... So hold on a second. I've got one second. I've got one stat here that's useful.
So this is from Shevin, Virginia. So it says that nationwide, 40% plus of all workers five years after graduation are under, are unemployed or underemployed. So, and that's a job... Applying their degrees.
Yeah, exactly. Underemployed equal in jobs, not requiring their four year degree. Exactly.
So let me, let me throw something at you. You bought that Wall Street article. I know it well.
I read the Wall Street Journal. That's the paper of choice for me. I think it's the last decent newspaper and it's still not perfect.
So on the HVAC article, I remember it because a friend, a buddy of mine on Long Island who started an HVAC business in 2019, he had $15,000 he pulled out of his 401k, whatever, and bought a van, equipment and took a class. The dude just bought a $3 million home. And I went to his housewarming party and I'm like, what the fuck happened? Like I missed something, like something got lost in translation and guess what? It's HVAC.
So it's like, it's so insane. And all it takes is you get one good contract with one building and then that becomes word of mouth, especially in a city like New York, where there's no shortage of work in the business. So yeah, that's a great article that you mentioned and I think it's pretty funny.
