Why is it sad that a plumber would make more than a teacher or nurse?
They may charge more per hours, but that includes their business expenses, insurance, etc... They don't TAKE HOME that hourly fee...
Do you have a clue how much it costs to outfit a truck/van for a plumber?
Have you ever called plumbers for an emergency visit when your house floods? When your toilets backs up into your house? How about when your gas furnace dies and you're freezing in your home?
A good plumber is worth what they charge...
