How much does a pipe fitter make an hour?

Question

My son is interested in learning to become one. He's 16 now and wants to know where to learn it.

Answer 1

Almost all cities have a Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Union. You can look it up in the phone book. He must APPLY for an apprenticeship. In some states it pays more than in others. Usually one can expect about $12/hr as an apprentice. It goes up from there. (There are a few states as high as $19/hr for an apprentice pipe fitter.)

Answer 2

It all depends of where you live, if you live in an industrial area that has refineries they might pay more. where i live they get paid $15.00
