When I got started in Special Inspection in Commyfornia we made more than the Engineers and we had to basically teach them how things worked in the real world
30 years latter I get paid a $1 less than the unskilled Laborer pushing a broom on most jobs that I go on.
This is due to the Engineers being butt hurt for being taught their jobs from people that grew up in the trades when they came out of a book.
And the Fact that the majority of inspectors are coming from the book to the real world and do not know anything them selves.
They call it Fake it till ya make it.
The New comers will work for penny's until they move on to another job. They use it as a stepping stone job.
I sure hope I am out of Commyfornia before the next big Earth Quake in the big city's hits because it is not going to be a very nice place when Shhitt hits the fan here and things start collapsing everywhere and people are killed.
