Are we operating under the premise that there are only conservatives in 
the service industry sector, and the trades?

I don't have much further to add to this (somewhat confusing) scenario 
if that's the case because I reject the premise as being silly. There 
are no leftists in medicine or nursing, now?

I didn't start studying electronics seriously until my late 20s, and 
didn't make any money at it for years after that. I've had lots of jobs 
over the years, washing dishes, delivering papers, stocking shelves, 
tech support, sales, senior care-giving..

Not sure what grudge you think I have against the "working class", I 
_am_ the working class!
