Hi Patrick,
If you are interested in plumbing, it is certainly a good career to opt for. There is career growth in this sector. If you’re thinking about joining any particular organisation, I suggest, you join Service Today. At Service Today, you will not only get excellent training and proper guidance but also good exposure to all types of plumbing work.
Plumbing can be a good career choice, especially in a busy city like London. Since you already work with your hands as a carpenter, switching to plumbing could be easier for you. There’s a strong need for plumbers, which means good job security and pay. You might want to check out training programs or apprenticeships with companies like London City Plumbers. Good luck!
Plumbing is an excellent career that allows one to combine knowledge and innovation with the ability to create and build with your hands. It also offers tremendous benefits and career potential. Plumbing is the one trade where work lies in wait in every building. The plumbing breaks down and no one wants to touch it. You are also required to be licensed if you want to be eventually given more responsibilities and pay. Some times codes can be strict and knowledge of design and math is used on a consistent basis. You can consider doing this if you’re young.
yes, no doubt that plumbing is a very good profession. If you’re at this site, it’s probably safe to say that you have some slight interest in plumbing. Maybe you’re a plumber yourself, an avid DIY-er, or simply the curious sort. Perhaps you know someone who is. Whatever the case may be, if a new career is in the offing, there’s no reason to not consider plumbing. In fact, there are ten really good reasons to consider it!
1. Job stability: The need for plumbers is kind of like the need for doctors – everyone everywhere will always need them. Being a plumber offers you a certain level of security: a good plumber can always find employment, and the job can’t be outsourced!
2. Less student loan debt: College students these days are graduating with tens of thousands of dollars worth of student loan debt. Choosing a trade like plumbing often means you can attend vocational school or a community college for significantly less money, and then enter an apprenticeship where you’re actually paid while you learn the trade.
3. Advancement opportunities: Plumbing is a licensed and regulated trade, and you can choose to work your way all the way up to the master level if you have the ambition to do so. Master plumbers have a higher salary, more job flexibility, and more opportunities than many other professions.
4. Job variety: Being a plumber doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing house calls and fixing toilets all day (unless you want to, of course). Plumbers work in all kinds of industries. You could find a job designing plumbing systems for new buildings, deciding how to manage, repair, and expand city/municipal water systems, or developing new plumbing technologies. Where there’s water and people, there’s a need for plumbing. The opportunities are almost endless!
5. Independence: Professional plumbers can always choose to go into business for themselves. Owning your own plumbing business means you can work when you want and where you want, which is great for those who have family obligations or need flexibility in scheduling or location.
6. Personal benefits: As a plumber, you’ll be working your body and your mind all the time. Analyzing problems, developing solutions, and handling day-to-day business transactions will keep your mind sharp, and the physical requirements of the job can keep your body active and healthy.
7. Job satisfaction: Plumbers really do save lives. Without good plumbing systems to deliver clean water and get rid of wastewater, we would all be at risk of catching potentially fatal diseases. Keeping the plumbing systems in our homes and cities in good working order is a worthy task that protects the health of our nation.
8. No more plumbing bills: Once you’ve got the skills, you’ll never need to pay someone else for plumbing repairs! This is probably the least important reason to become a plumber, but hey, if you’re on the tipping point this just might help you make the decision!
