I don't know what crane operators make these days but I suspect  my  salary
would  make  an  apprentice  plumber collapse with laughter.  They start at
about $30/hr., I'm told, and  six-figure  incomes  are  very  common  among
plumbers in general.

It's an ancient truism that wealth and  intelligence  aren't  significantly
correlated.
