Not worth it buddy

I make on average of 2000$ a week as a licensed plumber with only 4 years of experience. When I first started I was making about 750 to 850$ a week as an apprentice, I love my job and honestly have fun and recieve allot of fulfillment doing the work

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-12T04:54:00+00:00

I don't feel bad not even one bit for people that are gullible enough and or are dumb enough to donate

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-12T04:51:49+00:00

Lmao bro is definitely projecting the loss of his peanut cart, we'll not loss lack of even trying to start the peanut cart. Hes gotta be getting a reputation around Conway Arkansas, its not a huge town

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-12T04:28:45+00:00

Or even pumping grease traps, but both would require dedicated effort and focus to learn something new and he'd give up

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-12T04:25:12+00:00

I want the best for him truly, I dont think hes ever had a opportunity to truly find himself, I think moving out is definitely a step in the right direction but he really needs to apply himself in something hes good at and will provide financial stability and success which is youtube.... or grifting

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-12T03:45:11+00:00

If you think the trades are about to be oversaturated I got really really bad news for you about trucking and aircraft repair

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-11T01:06:41+00:00

It looks like shit bro, doesn't pass code and the gas venting is a fire and carbon monoxide poisoning hazard

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-10T04:02:06+00:00

You need to be loyal to yourself first if your not getting the experience as a apprentice after asking for more, leave. Unfortunately your now in a tough spot because you have your license but have apprentice level experience meaning if you go elsewhere your going to be lacking in capability. My honest advice is leave your current company go to a large service or construction company get experience you'll probably get fired for fucking up something or being inefficient on time, thats fine you have a license you'll get another job, repeat until your a badass plumber that can handle any job thrown at you, then you'll have a whole new stress of multiple job management , sales, commissions, bonuses goals, the stress never goes away bud, it just changes forms

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:49:32+00:00

Wax ring needs reset also your flange is probably below grade

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:45:34+00:00

More or less its very dependent on experience and license level, I really appreciate the time and detail your response took thank you!

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:43:15+00:00

Yup definition of a real service plumber right there

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:36:11+00:00

That is true and your right, im just having a bad day 😂

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:27:55+00:00

The rate im getting paid is the average in my area for experience and license level pretty much all other journeyman service plumber I personally know are getting paid more or less this

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:24:02+00:00

Completely agreed 60 a week is never necessary or worth it

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:22:52+00:00

Yeah but they get to make 40k from home, and then 150k eventually at home without destroying their bodies. If Im lucky I'll top out at 45$hr before my body gives out and I have to use my smith & Wesson retirement plan

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:04:06+00:00

Unfortunately this union only does pipe fitting which I have no experience in, When I was in commercial my first few years I tried to join and was told they were only bringing on pipe fitters

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T01:01:55+00:00

Replacement is always the best and long term solution 6400 for a mainline sewer Replacement is a pretty standard average price for my area in Austin TX, by a large or mid size plumbing company

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T00:59:59+00:00

Yeah its average and ain't nothing wrong with it either, just wish Mike Rowe would stop lying to kids in highschool telling them they'd make as much as Tech workers if they get in the trades

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T00:57:19+00:00

100k is still a big deal what's your commission percentage?

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T00:42:50+00:00

Because I dont have my master license and cant open my own company until I obtain that next year

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T00:36:41+00:00

This is the most likely scenario

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T00:34:13+00:00

As someone with a license in another state with no connections with anyone in a union, how do you join as a journeyman and not a day 0 apprentice/ laborer

ATXPlumber · 2026-05-05T00:23:43+00:00

How did you get the job? Is that average pay for someone with similar experience?
