Having been a long time resident and contractor in Jupiter and also having employed many individuals from different ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds, and countries, I have found that the work ethic and gratitude has been unsurpassed in the trades workforce! Many years ago, I managed a 205 seat restaurant in Juno that employed mostly Haitians in the kitchen. These individuals held two full time jobs and constantly sent $$ home to their relatives. Again, work ethic was very commendable and so I found out that their family values were also. Besides the above, We are all human beings and nobody is better than the other, and when we can help one another at least survive, the personal rewards one gets from such is phenomenal! Nothing is ever 100%, but at the same time I believe there is no greater reward than helping our fellow man. No matter what religion we tend to believe or follow, we are all Gods children and somehow we forget this maybe due to pressures from peers!
