#plugintodevin Show – Devin Thorpe for Congress
Guest: Sydne Jacques
Issue: I am dedicated to bringing more respect to the good people that build our communities, and to help people realize you do not have to have a college degree to be “successful”. I work with these incredibly talented people and I’m annoyed that as a society we look down on them. People need to stop and think that their homes, offices, hospitals, schools, roads, bridges — everything in their community is built by construction workers and they deserve more respect for the good work they do. AND their are great careers available.
