> There is no reason a fully qualified, even residential electrician cannot make 200k a year

Where?

BLS Data

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/electric...

"The median annual wage for electricians was $62,350 in May 2024. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $39,430, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $106,030."

Seems like there is overwhelming reason for one to not make $200k/year.
