Plumbing Schools (continued from top)

If there is one profession that we'd all hate to be without, it is probably plumbing. You may not think of plumbing as the most important profession to humanity, but when people need plumbers, they generally REALLY need plumbers. In fact, when you need a plumber, your life probably will be extremely unpleasant until one comes to fix your problem.

Because plumbers will always be a necessity in life, it is a job that will constantly be in demand. Most plumbers belong to some sort of labor union, so plumbing wages and benefits are generally adequate and somewhat consistent from place to place. This is good news for someone who likes to work with his hands and who is also looking for job security. If you want to become a plumber, you'll probably need to go to plumbing school.

Plumbing school usually exists at a 2-year community or technical college. Some unions require plumbers to have an associate's degree in plumbing before being allowed to join. While in plumbing school, students are exposed to the many different types of plumbing problems that exist, including problems in both residential and commercial buildings. Plumbers-in-training will generally begin their studies in the classroom with other students, but will often be sent out of the classroom with professional plumbers as apprentices to apply their newfound skills. Sometimes this training-by-fire is the best way to gain experience.
