Isn’t it pretty stabdars to make 100k plus as a plumber ?

I think that is the norm for plumbers servicing areas with 1m+ homes. Granted that likely means they have a long commute even with that salary.

Knowing a few plumbers, I'm sure it can be, but it can be a very feast or famine trade. And most that make that own their own business, so still blue collar, but not exactly an everyman kind of job.
