Plumbing is one of those professions that white-collar workers love to bring up as an example of jobs that makes lots of money without a college degree. Contrary to popular belief, plumbing is not easy money. Unlike most modern jobs, you have to complete a long and arduous apprenticeship before you can start making the big bucks. Plumbing requires a willingness to get dirty, which most people are unwilling to do for eight hours daily. It’s hard work, and if you can stomach it, you’ve got a great career ahead of you. 

Few jobs actually do a lot of good in this world, and plumbing is one of them. Many people can lay their heads on their pillows and say they made money for a corporation that day, but how many people can say that they stopped a pipe from flooding a house with disgusting liquid? Plumbers do tangible good every day and deserve to celebrate their careers with hilarious plumbing memes.
