How do you get the experience to pass the plumbers test if you are not
allowed to do plumbing work to get the experience to pass the plumbers
test if.....


Carry a lot of pipe, pipe fittings, pick up tools, and more tools. Years
of go-fer work. Purchase your own tools of the trade. Tradesmen don't lend
tools. Next time he needs it, it's not there. Takes time to hunt lazy ass
helpers to get tools returned. You have possibly heard time ='s money.


All we know is he works for a plumbing company. He may be the warehouse
man or a ditch digger.


Ditch digging is the foremost at teaching the plumbing trade. Breaking out
clogged pipes and cleaning up "waste" is also helpful and builds
character. Tests your ability to follow orders. Clean up after yourself
when you have to, also helps.

Not meant to be easy or everyone would want to be one.

I'm glad I didn't personally chose this occupation but know those that
did. They are not rich by mine or their standards but proud of what they
do. They are within Obama's criteria for tax breaks though.

So much for "Joe the labourer".
