Maybe you are just beginning your working career or you have grown tired of your first choice and so you find yourself standing at a crossroads and you’re not sure in what direction you should go in. You have tried the academic route before with your bachelor’s degree and this is why you find yourself in this situation now. Maybe it’s time to look for a career that involves you using your hands more because you were always good of this when you were younger. This is one of the reasons why many people are pursuing a career in plumbing.
The good news about being a plumber in the Northern Beaches is that they are in very short supply and as you have already studied business, you know that if demand outstrips supply then there will be many opportunities for you to get work and to make quite a lot of money. On top of that, if there are any plumbing duties to be carried out around your properties then you can do them yourself and save yourself a considerable amount of money. If you’re not sure if a plumbing career is a fit for you then the following are just some of the reasons why you might want to consider it.
- A job for life – Not many people can say this about their current careers but if you become a plumber then you are guaranteed work until you don’t want to do it anymore. This means it you get to decide when you retire and if you want to keep yourself occupied during your retirement years then you can always still be doing small plumbing jobs and still keeping people happy.
- It provides an excellent ROI – The money that you will spend becoming qualified and getting the necessary experience will be money very well spent and in all likelihood, you will recover the vast majority of it in your first month of working. Plumbers are paid extremely high salaries and if you decide to go out on your own and become self-employed then even more so. There is so much potential to make enough money to have that big house and to drive the fancy car that you have always wanted.
- You always go to work happy – Many people talk about that achievable work/life balance that everyone keeps talking about but are unable to achieve. When you become a plumber and you are your own boss then you start work when you want, you finish work when you want and you charge whatever you want within reason. There is no reason why you wouldn’t have a smile on your face every morning when you head out to work to greet your next happy client.
Hopefully, these three reasons can encourage you to pursue a career in the plumbing industry and really make your mark so that you can give something back to the community while also creating a very healthy and rewarding career.
