no pride? Fitting three foot diameter stainless pipes that will take 2,000 psi and 900 degree superheated steam can't be a source of pride? making skyscraper can't? doing asbestos abatement on a power plant safely and properly can't? rebuilding and replacing a pump the size of a house can't? nonsense, I've worked with those people, they take huge pride in their work and are very much valued and sought for in industry.

you are wrong, I've done construction scheduling for years and the skilled trade workers (also pipefitters, abatement insulators) can make that. But you'd be following big construction or plant outages, and working long days in project pinch times. but that's not a starting wage either, mastery of skill is required
