Advice On Becoming A Plumber


Hey all. I'm new to this forum, first post, and was wondering if someone here could offer me some advice. I'm 25, just about to finally get my bachelor's degree in math, but I don't want to go to grad school and I don't want to teach, so I'm thinking about becoming a plumber. Am I too old to start? I realize I will need five years of apprenticeship and maybe some classes. What is your day-to day job like and how is the earnings potential? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Advice On Becoming A Plumber


Stay in school so when you get a master degree and make a lot of money I will not feel bad charging you anywhere from 80 to 300 depending on how I big the job.I once did a job for a rich doctor.When I gave him the bill he said to me I am a doctor and I can not charge that kind of money.I said to him when I was doctor I was not able to charge the price I do.
Never hack a job keep it clean and safe !
