I have read post after post about how a plumber can make good money, especially after he has 6 or 8 other plumbers working for him etc. that isn’t a plumber any longer.
Post after post on this thread talks about the plumber making $80.00 an hour etc., the company charges that price, not the workman at your house.
To me this is like confusing the Restaurant owner and the cook, they are two different things, even as is common, when the Restaurant owner started as a cook.
One is a business owner, and entrepreneur, etc. the other is a plumber (or a cook etc).
I am simply surprised that when a businessman builds a successful plumbing business that he is still confused with the help, and oddly, vice versa.
Perhaps so, but that’s not prejudice. Prejudice is a negative. No one is casting aspersions on plumbers or the people who own plumbing businesses.
BTW, what makes you say that a man who owns a plumbing business is no longer a plumber? Most of the people I know who own a business in the building trades continue to do the work themselves even after they’ve started to hire others.
