目前上海的水管工、泥水匠、电工收入早已超过小白领，人们都在感叹这几年某些服务性行业的人工费涨得离谱，今后装修房子快负担不起了。
无独有偶，前纽约市长布隆格曾建议不能成为顶尖科学家的人去当水管工，不值得为上大学背一身债。他的言论搅起许多争论。当然，他是站着讲话不腰疼的人，他自己太有钱，当市长时只象征性地拿一美元年薪。

Skip college and become a plumber: Mayor Bloomberg
The mayor’s advice, given during his weekly radio show, notes that average college students who aren’t rocket scientists might do better pursuing a career cleaning pipes. ‘You don’t spend ... four years spending $40,000, $50,000 in tuition without earning income’ or amassing student loan debt, he explained, and one expert partly agrees with him.
Mayor Bloomberg’s advice to ‘so-so’ students is to skip college and become a plumber. His argument is that they won’t waste time, would have a nice income and could avoid student loan debt. Plus, this is one profession that can’t be outsourced.
Some advice from career counselor Mayor Bloomberg: If you are a so-so high school student, steer clear of college — and learn to clear clogged drains.
Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show Friday that going to trade school to become a plumber is a better economic bet for many teenagers than obtaining an undergraduate degree.
“The people who are going to have the biggest problem are college graduates who aren’t rocket scientists, if you will, not at the top of their class,” he said.
“Compare a plumber to going to Harvard College — being a plumber, actually for the average person, probably would be a better deal.”
He said plumbers make a good living without having to pay off college loans.
