and what i can find on a glance is between 26 to 35$

Well, they naturally work more than 40 hours a week

But I don't think there is much difference between 40 and 70 hours of work a week

The second one is marginally more difficult, but pays massively more

well with a 70 hour week they would make 120k annually at 35$/hour

i would say however that that grind is better spent elsewhere unless there is an immediate monetary issue

How?

for example you could learn for becoming a master craftsman

not sure how easy it is in the us, but here you need to know your shit for any kind of profession that offers it

Master plumbers learn most of their stuff on the job, so working 70 hour weeks would actually help that.

Only to a certain degree, if the exam isnt just a a joke(which it might be idk), it will give you problems that you dont encounter on the job or are extremely rare

nvm the theory part

It doesn't take 30 hours a week, 5 years in the row, to pass some fucking plumber exam

Point is; if you are 25 years old, have all the required certifications, why would you work 40 hours a week if you can work 70?

well, its not as simple as "just a fucking exam" but the main take away is to make your time more valuable

instead of grinding forever

Well, the next step is a plumbing-related company

I am talking about any rando from 4chan though

A wage normie

In Norway you can take a trade exam if you work in the trade for 5+ year without a education or after 2 years with education

Norwegian plumbers probably make enough to buy a ferrari every month

Not far from the truth as we are having a shortage of them and they knows it

Point is, I feel that any man who is older than 24 years, doesn't make 6 figures and has succesfully completed high school, is a fucking pathetic loser

So most plumbers in the us

If you have a family, then it's different tho

Yea the job are out there for people that want to get dirty

But if you are unmarried, there is nothing preventing you from working 100 hours a week

Your health is probably going to prevent that lol

i would say that is the exct reason why you wouldnt do it

You are not doing some brutal mental labor or hauling coal wagons

that depends

Why does an unmarried person need to make 6 figures and work 100 hours a week lmao

plumbing doesnt just mean going to peoples homes and fixing their boiler

Because that's pretty much a baseline

Plumbing is brutal on your knees

100 hours per week of anything is brutal

^

If you don't have a wife and kids to care about, you don't need free time

Take care of your knees. It sucks when they are fucked

If you dont have any spare time you wont have a wife

unless you order one
