Tomorrow, the first Wednesday in May, is National Skilled Trades Day in the US. This is the day we set aside to recognize the importance of those who:
- Build your homes.
- Fix the furnace and air conditioning in your office and homes.
- Paint ceilings, walls, bridges, and machinery.
- Wire your house and the businesses.
- Fix your cars.
- Create your hairdo.
- Build the roads.
- Repair aircraft.
A college education isn’t necessary for any of these jobs, so these careers have generally been hard to fill with qualified people. Tomorrow, you can recognize these important contributors to society by:
- Thanking them.
- Calling them for assistance instead of doing it yourself.
- Give them a gift, like this useful architect scale ruler. It is a vital tool for reading blueprints of road construction and building construction and remodeling.
