We need more black plumbers, that's for sure.
Thats the beauty of trades and something young brehs should consider cuz college isnt for everyone. Electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, machinists, mechanics, etc., are all viable options.
You can touch 100k early in to being a plumber, if you work smart.
Same with HVAC/locksmith/welding etc.
I'd be a plumber long-before I work a dead-end skill-less job.

Yup. Garbage men and people who work in sanitation make good money in NYC too, but I can't see myself doing that kind of work for "good money"The term "good money" is relative to the individual when you have to deal with human feces for a living. Like, if you don't go home and soak for at least an hour after work, then you
My hats off to em' if you can deal with the foulest stenches and sites in human existence...more power to you, but me? Nah I'm straight
Worked in the plumbing industry for about 4 years. After incentives for up selling services they would make on average between $42 for a terrible plumber to about $65hr for the better ones.
Mostly it's water heaters, fixture changes, and re piping houses that were the money makers. Occasional main water line digs as well cost a lot. I would say it was about 10-15% sewage work and when that happened the plumber would make the apprentice do the shyt work for them

Then you'd just have a lot of unemployed electricians, plumbers and welders.
Unions keep a cap on the licenses of those things by limiting the number of people in them....sort of like doctors
People wanna sit at desks and surf the internet instead of learning a productive skill

Gonna be like 150 to change out a fill valve on a toilet and that shyt costs less than 10$ on your own. But since it's a toilet most would gladly pay someone else to go near it.
