Ummm, what does this look like to you? I know many multi millionaires that walk around looking like they are poor and homeless. You are really naive to think money has a look.


I’m not going to go down this argument. My point is that most these guys without company ownership are not making over $100k. They are making like $35/ hour plus OT rates. The additional pay for after hours is mostly going to their business.

If you are charging $150/ hour and paying $35/ hour to the employee before benefits and expenses and then charge $250/ hour after hours then the company is making an extra $65/ hour while the employee gets $35 extra for OT.

The technicians in my business are harder to come by and the bests make about $35/hr, and we are charging $150/day. We're charging large industrial customers that rate, and the really big customers, like Exxon and Shell and Honeywell, we just charge a full day rate no matter what.

To think you can charge $200/hr for residential plumber issues is just ridiculous.
I had two plumbers come over and quote me to run a gas line in my attic to my kitchen so i could put a gas stove in and both wanted $1,200. It was less than $150 worth of material, and both said it would take them about 2-3 hours at most to complete the job. And i told them both, you guys are out of your mind if you think i'm going to pay you more per hour than a fricking doctor makes.
