> I don't see how they can group electricians in the same category as front desk clerks and parking lot attendants.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I had mis-read that statement. It makes absolutely no sense. Financially, many electricians make more than I do (software engineer working in research).

Money aside, I'm pretty sure I could find electrical work stimulating and fulfilling. The same is most certainly not true of low level customer service.

Well, those who find electrical work stimulating usually aren't very good at it.

What is this statement based on?

It's a joke. If you're being "stimulated" (ie, electrocuted), then you might be doing it wrong. :P
