Sure you get paid a lot but I can't imagine fixing clogged toilets or fixing refrigerators everyday to be something that is very stimulating.
If I am wrong please correct me.

when you're a foreman or superintendent it's a challenging position to run your job well and make a profitable project. people in those positions don't necessarily get their hands on the tools anymore and they will make quite a nice salary.
depends how far you want to take it.
you can just screw in cover plates for plugs & switches or be a lead hand or run a crew...or be experienced enough on the tools to do the big installs...
working with some guys that started in the trades i have total respect for them and their knowledge. some know more than an engineer it's amazing the construction/design knowledge they have
