pros and cons of a career in plumbing?

Question

Thinking of a career change would like to know a bit about the advantages and disadvantages of a career as a plumbing, any advice?

Answer 1

Pros: a lot of money can be made but like any industry will take 5yrs. You r your own boss even when working for someone else as your skilled labour. Meet many people & see many houses, easy living and can take a lot of time off. Can laugh at the suits when you r going home at 3pm after starting at 8am, making £250 that day, (no lie.) No stress really (if you've got a brain), and many other avenues of work on big commerical buildings and go anywhere in the world. Best one can laugh at all the suits because they look down on you (well £50,000 / yr at 23yrs old ain't bad is it? For the little stress in return.)

Cons: hard work, body deteriates when get older, can be sitting around 4 mths without work, have to be a get up & go person. No s..t taking industry so can be tough emotionally as no one cares, trust me, highly mercenaric. Not overly mentally stimulating, or rewarding to giving something back to the world, the monkies in the industry who believe everything in The Sun, can become someone who is narrow minded & in later yrs think what did I actually do with my life? It is like slave labour in terms of the soul.
