I Make $105K A Year As A Plumber, living in San Antonio, TX

[Loose]

Trades are cool and I'm all for them, but a lot of these apprenticeships are cornered by white folks. Difficult for black folks to enter the market unless they're in a majority black area.

In every labor job I have had, not being able to pass a piss test and being overall lazy was the #1 reason folks didn't get jobs. It's uncanny that folks can't feel the bag fumble in real time. If not for an injury that messed up my seniority, I would have stuck out UPS to get on the trucks 15 years ago. That would have been an incredible living.

I have a theory that if I offered 10 people $5,0000 to walk 5 miles everyday for two weeks. At the end of two weeks 80% would have a reason as to why they couldn't complete the task.

So many misconceptions in this thread on the Plumbing trades, I had to address it

1. Like only 15% of Plumbing work is "deal with other people's shyt". If you are doing New Construction, that never happens. It's a completely clean side of the trade. Only thing you'll deal with is sawdust and chalk lol. So get that out of your heads

2. Most of what you see as "dealing with other people's shyt" all the time are Drain Cleaners. And if you call a Plumber a Drain cleaner, he'll laugh in your face lol. There are more to plumbing then just replacing toilets, come on brehs

3. Most of Plumbing work primarily deals with water that people use to shower, drink, etc. Then you got water heaters some HVAC added into it as well. Then you have sump pumps. Way more complex tasks than the simplified way you guys are thinking of it. Which is why alof of cities who offer Plumbing licenses have to go through the State Health system as well to get certified

Yep just sitting back reading all the misconceptions. Plumbers don’t deal with human excrement AT ALL. We provide clean water. If u have clogged toilet u call a drain cleaner (totally separate).
We also provide natural gas for water heaters, furnaces, boilers, ovens etc.
Trust me it’s only black people that think like this. Cacs n Mexicans get it and are laughing all the way to the bank.
