Clark HowardHostKrista DiBiaseHostYou must think I'm pretty stupid.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Maybe you're right, pal.
Phil in North Carolina says, "Clark, you certainly don't stink, and you have very good answer to the 39-year-old electrician diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's.
I just wanted to add that my local Home Depot had a former disabled electrician working in the electrical department that people would stand in line to get help from."
"I even found out his working hours so I could be sure he was there when I worked on a DIY electrical job.
"... could consider working at a similar store or even an electrical supply outlet where his expertise would certainly be valued.
Maybe the pay would not be as good, but there should be medical benefits that could help him more easily navigate his illness." And Paul in Massachusetts-
He says that, uh, "Your advice centered around trying to find an employer union or some other entity which would provide disability insurance.
What you did not discuss in case the caller became so incapacitated that he would no longer be able to stand the rigors of the job is that he consider using his skills and experience to teach students to be electricians.
In this way, he could both continue to earn a living, pass on his hard-earned knowledge, and remain a community asset as he passes on his experience to young future electricians."
Thank you very much because I was really, um, affected by that question, as many people were who heard it or were watching on YouTube.
