Where are plumbers starting at $80k?



Granted, they may not start at 80K, but if you live in any southern rural area, you may as well be ready to wait days before they show up. I have a friend who is a plumber who can't handle all the work he has. Carpenters as well, another friend says he tells folks who call it will be a minimum of 30 days before he can begin work.

Plumbers do make that much but not until several years after they start. It is hard work at times and can be very dirty. The point is that there is a shortage of people willing to do trades because they are misled from an early age. Some people will serve themselves better in regards to long term financial stability by becoming skilled in a trade in lieu of earning a 4 year degree.
