Plumbing Trades > any other job, pays more than doctors, lawyers, or dentists. I see alot of helpless anons on here looking for ways to make serious money. I'll let you in on a little secret.

I work as a Canadian plumber and make more money than any fucking lawyer, doctor, or dentist.

When someone calls in the middle of the winter because their boiler is not working and they are freezing to death I charge $3500-$5000 to repair it so their children don't freeze to death and they gladly pay it.

Hot water tank broken? I'll buy hot water tanks in bulk from my supplier for 250$ each and the shutoff valves / flexhose connectors that end up only costing me an additional $30.00. I mark up the tank to 650 and additional parts to 200 and charge 400 for labour. All in all I'm making $900-$1000 profit in two Hours work.

Your toilet is clogged? Not a big deal. I'll shut off the water, use a shop vacume to suck all the shit and water out. Pop the toilet off and use the snake to unclog it. All in all it takes me 30 mins on average and I'll walk away with a free $450-500 profit.

Now getting into repiping houses and bathroom Renos this is the real coin. An average bathroom renovation from new fixtures, to new waterlines, and really routing drainage I can walk away with $6000-$9000 profit for a weekends worth of work.

All in all im averaging anywhere from $35,000-$50,000 per month working with only my self as the business owner and one young 21 year old 2nd year apprentice. Sure I do work 12 hours a day 5 days a week but I'm making hand over fist.

I'm putting 90% of my earnings into btc so I can retire soon. I'm 27 years old now and hope to retire in five years when btc hits $20,000 each. And if it all comes crashing down I have a trade to fall back on.

This thread is not a brag or anything like that. I just want to help fellow anons out there who are looking for a way to make it in life. The trades are good. Just work hard and learn as much as possible. God's speed.
