And I've yet to meet a plumber who makes only $25K a year.

The two plumbers I have dealt with have second homes. One has a Porsche and the other guy an Escalade.

More like 125,000 a year.

Plumbers make a lot more than that, cause the college kids do not want to dirty their hands.

If you are professional or business person, plumbers have a special rate for you.

No kidding. My grandfather was a plumber and made 30K during the Depression. They had a house, car, my mother went to summer camp and the 3 kids went to college; 2 graduated one became a career Marine.

Oh, yeah, and this was in the 30s-50s, back when blacks like my grandfather didn't have the choices (including student loans) they have today. They didn't boo-hoo about life and just did what they had to do and moved on.

This kid is an idiot who obviously doens't know a thing about the real world - and apparently the kid's parents haven't helped either. Lord in heaven, I hate crying liberals.

Being a plumber or electrician. Those are good paying jobs that there will always be a need for. Can't exactly outsource that.

[Havoc]

At the rate we're going, you'll soon see a lot of out of work plumbers cause nobody can afford them.
