Aye but you can guarantee that a plasterer is working harder for his money than your 80k your getting in house (just using your words) another thing people seem to forget is that trades have a shorter life span.
Plasterers end up with knackered elbows for a kick off and are working in cold wet conditions allot of the year.

I think also, to be fair, stagnation of the customers wages are also an issue here.
As an in house lawyer, (and ok I dont have a massively stressful job, I cant do maths, i dont have to work long hours or have to manage anyone) I earn about 80k. I know i could sell my soul and double that but I cannot be bothered.
I read on another forum I go on the other day that some plasterers are earning more than that a year (albeit without a pension and sick pay etc).
