Great job skills to fall back on, (in theory) and i wouldn't mind doing it. Infact, some of it I ENJOY and miss doing, and the sense of job satisfaction it brings. But i also know its pointless because nobody would hire me to do that work over an "migrant worker", and even if i were, i'd only be offered "migrant worker's" wages.
Yes those jobs that americans wont do now... like hanging sheet rock.
