Steven’s Answer

Yes, and here is why. Plumbing is a trade that is not going away, in fact as the population grows it is becoming more in demand. You can plumb commercially (large buildings) or residentially (homes), new construction or repair, and every job is different so it keeps things interesting. Plumbing does involve manual labor but not to the extent that you cannot keep doing it until retirement age. If you stick with it long enough and become a licensed plumber you can open your own company, and there is no requirement for a formal college education. Since the demand is increasing for plumbers the pay is also increasing. Working in the trades is still an excellent choice.

Kris’s Answer

Plumbing is an excellent choice. I would highly recommend plumbing as a career, if you are one that likes to perform physical work as opposed to office work. The work is not too physical, meaning it is not overly demanding on your joints and back. It is a skill that is high in demand, and a licensed plumber gets paid extremely well. This is a career you can begin straight out of high school without having to pay for college. You just need to locate a good apprenticeship. That means different things based on where you live.

Kris recommends the following next steps:

locate your local plumber's union

Justin’s Answer

If you don't mind getting dirty then plumbing will work for you. You can get into new construction which isn't bad, and you will really only deal with dirt, water and glue. You will rough in new homes or buildings.

If you want to get into service work then you will get dirty and deal with the nasty side of plumbing. You have to deal with human waste, it isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

If you want to do service but have a somewhat easier time then look at getting into a hospital. They are easier than standard service work.
