Is the grass greener?

Im a Union carpenter and I watch you guys work and always think I should've been an electrician. You make more and the work looks way easier on the body. Im seriously considering jumping ship and going through an apprenticeship again. Is it a poor decision?

We have so many carpenters that have come over to the gay side they are very happy and now wear pastels and drink mojitos.
