It was a discussion at work on how expensive labor is these days and I made a point on that it depends on what part of the U.S. your in. It looks like I was correct again.
Thanks.
But just in case how much does it cost to become a plumber?

For most there is an apprenticeship process that can last 3-4 years.
There are also osme training run by local unions.
Sometimes the VA or local workforce center can cover some of the costs involved.

You gotta specify, there is a big difference between how much a plumber makes an hour, and how much the company he works for charges an hour. My wife worked for a plumbing company and they paid between 15-20 an hour to the plumbers, but charged much more then that for an hours work.
