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...
Not compared to a teacher. Societies can turn on the quality of their school system. No one cares to rank countries on how good their plumbers are. One thing for sure Is that Florida is going in the wrong direction. Soon Fl will be so desperate to hire teachers that plumbers will be accepted into the classroom.
.........This is an interesting side note about Education in Fl and plumbers in Fl. Both plumbers and Teachers apparently need financial support in Fl. FACT......Florida is # 1 in the US for application to The Affordable Care Act. (check it out, many want to hide that fact)
