If you’re a good plumber and have good work ethic, you will always be able to find employment.

2) Advancement Opportunity – Most people have an idea of plumbing as a low-paying profession, but the earning potential of plumbers is quite high. Even at a starting rate, plumbers earn a very competitive salary. By taking on more jobs and and greater responsibility, you can quickly carve out your own opportunities for advancement and climb the career ladder. If you work hard as a service technician, you can advance to become a field or operations manager within just a few years.

3) Job Variety – Being a plumber isn’t always the same thing day in and day out. In fact, no two days on the job are ever alike. Plumbing is a profession that keeps you on your toes with constant surprises, like burst pipes or flooding sump pumps.

4) Range of Experience – As a plumber, you won’t be chained to a desk in a cubicle all day. Plumbers are out in the world, visiting locations all over town and meeting new people every day. They use their bodies as well as their minds to solve problems on the job. The physical demands of the job keep your body strong and healthy, while the problem solving keeps your mind sharp.

5) Flexibility – Plumbers work hard, but they work flexible hours. You can dial up or scale back the number of hours and jobs you work per week. You might have to trade off covering the overnight shift with your colleagues, but you’ll also get some morning and weekdays off. The flexible schedule of a career in plumbing is a good fit for people with family obligations, or who need flexibility for other reasons.
