People in trades are only well respected in north america because of the education and certifications needed to be in the trade. In 2nd/3rd world countries, they are considered to be low class jobs because they don't require education, so of course immigrants from these countries are going to think the same towards trades.
Lol. Auto techs in the lower mainland make 25-30/hr on average. The guys making 100k are not the hourly guys, it's the guys that earn per job, and pump out production. Hd mechanics make 30-40/hr avg locally, and up to and over 115/hr with their own service trucks in bc and ab.
