Great job. Excellent pay, plumbers will always be needed, and most important is you can be your own boss. Go for it.
My plumber is the best. He always bails me out of trouble and on a moment's notice. Pays to have plumbers on your good side.

Yes but many plumbers will not deal with human waste.
If you can avoid this part of the work it's OK.
What I can tell you is that a self employed plumber in Central Scotland can clear 1000 a week in his hand, easily. It's a good paying game.
I also heard they were finding it hard to attract young lads into the trade because of the difficulties of human waste ( oyung lads nowadays won't put up with it)
Don't worry there will be plenty Polish plumbers soon!!

You would be better off being a corgi trained boiler repair specialist, because then you can charge £90 just for showing up, and then charge what ever stupid amount that comes into your head, why not, that's what all the other robbing ba*ta*ds do.

Yes, if you get your journeyman's license and work for a commercial company. They do new installation and a journeyman's salary can be anywhere from $60-80,000 per year. It's clean work, not dirty like residential plumbing where you work on homeowner's toilets. Plus it's a skill where you can moonlight (work after hours on your own).

If you work for yourself it's financially a very good, but it's also very hard because it's physically demanding. It can be very inconvenient as well if you are called out in the middle of the night or when it's below zero.

Yep, the plumber charged me 60 quid for 10 mins work to unblock the bog, so you would rake it in!
