[dba-Tech] Plumbers are more essential than web developers, even though they're less valued?

 Hi Jim --

Yes, I did check the comments. I have seen the stats somewhere - all the modern industries are for "kids" (12+ - 25) and young people - 20-40...

I'm in programming/databases not from the "first wave" times - I'm from the  "New Wave"  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_wave_music ) times :)
