Being a plumber is never going to make you rich, but it can be a stepping stone to riches if you have the buseness acumen,
people I know have become millionaires from it, all of them have taken big risks in terms of commitments, their homes have often been on the
line, they may have been bankrupted once or twice, some are on their second or third wives,
My father when he was not a soldier was a plumber, I to am a plumber,
My son now 41 years old is a plumber,
He mostly works on his own,last year he paid £17k tax
The tools and equipment he owns cost at least £100k (includes a 360 digger and several jetters and drain lining gear),
On the other hand my son in law paid £25k tax, and his only equipment is a pen
and he probably nicked that off his boss,
As for the life it can be good, I found myself owning a property outright back in 1980 I was 40 but then I sustained a back injury which set me back,
My story goes on, but the moral is you can not rely on plumbing alone to make you rich in terms of money, but I am sure it can make you rich in other ways,
