I often wondered, "What the hell am I doing this for?" Society needs nurses, doctors, teachers, firemen and firewomen, and police officers - for sure. We should pay them accordingly. And if they are not doing their jobs accordingly, they should be fired - not protected. My rant is over.

You're assuming a handyman works a full 8 hr day, with no travel time between jobs, no down time between jobs, no "ooops, the person forgot he was coming and went out to lunch"...
And they do get injuries, which can put them out of commission for weeks...
That said, they get paid exactly what people are willing to pay...
