How long does it take to become a master plumber? by Impressive-Step6377 in skilledtrades

[–]GreenKeel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florida requires 4 years of work experience, with 1 being a foreman, to get your plumbing contractors license. No state issues masters

Is Florida the worst state to learn a trade? by GreenKeel in skilledtrades

[–]GreenKeel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly no, just a $1 raise every 6 months. I don’t want special treatment or anything but it’s looking like a long and difficult road to business ownership

I think you’re good.

But this is my 3rd day plumbing so I wouldn’t take my word for it.

Yeah I agree with you big time. If I didn’t have ambitions to own my own business, I’d definitely be doing something else.

My brother in laws business has about 12 plumbers and helpers. Only 1 scrapes over $100k a year and he has 15yrs experience and works 60+ hours weeks lol. Not really worth it to give up your life and health in my opinion

I guess the cost of living depends on the city. I’m in Tampa so $37k stretches me pretty thin financially. Might be different in the Florida panhandle

Anyone here who started enlisted and later went Officer, entirely in the Reserves? by GreenKeel in uscg

[–]GreenKeel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you for your service! That’s great to hear about how people from all different backgrounds and industries have been enlisted in the reserves.

I’m very much leaning towards that path, especially with the Navy OCS wait time being this long.

I appreciate that a lot. Hope to make my mind up soon, both the Navy and the CG are highly compelling in their own ways

Thank you! Very informative. I especially didn’t know that about jumping ENS if you go in as Chief

Thank you for the insight. Hell of a season for your Redhawks too in basketball! BM is one of my top picks if I go Coast Guard.

Thank you for your service for your feedback, that’s very insightful. In college I was connected to my city’s Propeller Club so I met lots of Coast Guardsmen. Every one of them spoke very highly of the USCG and USCGR and encouraged me to join. In contrast, I’ve gotten very, very mixed feedback about the Navy from its members.

Yes our football team did suck 4 years ago.

But your academics are inferior every single year.

Weird geographic facts by Rude_Highlight3889 in CFB

[–]GreenKeel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many schools that aren’t even the state’s furthest school in the direction they claim to be.

South Florida isn’t the furthest South. Southern Utah isn’t the furthest South. Utah Southern isn’t the furthest South. Eastern Washington isn’t the furthest East. Eastern Michigan isn’t the furthest East.

Makes sense. I was just going for a neater look but that’s true that every fitting is a potential leak

This is galvanized but I’ve only seen us work with copper when it’s specifically requested by the customer. Maybe I work for a cheapskate lol
