Roger, thank you for your insight, wisdom and passion about the skilled trades, not least, the importance of plumbing. I fought for years during the 90s and late 2000's, working in government, to maintain the integrity of trades work in facilities maintenance. I was lucky but challenged to manage the facilities of a number of state institutions back in the day. It was a dry patch trying to recruit and hire young people into the professions. So, we ended up contracting out many maintenance functions which proved to be unwise. No supervision of the contract and demoralization of the existing work force. In the 2020's, it may be turning around. Registered apprenticeship, vetted trade schools and community college programs will hopefully turn this around. Your channel keeps up the momentum. Thank you.

HVACR, lite commercial, field technician. $33/hr and averaging between 40 to 55 hours a week (on-call rotations, USA SW market). 3 years in the trade. I would recommend people consider HVAC and Refrigeration as a career. Entry level roles are a decent stepping stone to understanding some of the fundamentals; either becoming a preventive maintenance technician or an apprentice would be some examples (if you do become a PM tech, be ready to jump employers when you feel you have learned all that you can from your current one. Otherwise you may end up stuck and will make little progress to actually earning the real money or experiencing the challenges this trade has to offer). Installers also can make decent money while maintaining a more "normal" social life (hours are not very variable) and more times than not, it will be all on the job training. Then there is also trade school, which is the route I choose. With school, it provided me the basic understanding of how HVACR systems operate, electrical basics, and the confidence to apply to a employer and say yes, I do understand what we are looking at. However, if your end goal is to become a service technician, you must be willing to: -Learn while both on the job and at home -Understand the basic principles/practices of a variety of technologies/trades (water, plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, air flow, programming, etc) and be able to apply those principles/practices. *I have heard from other technicians (as arrogant as it can be), "HVACR is the trade of all trades." To some extent, I can agree with this because we really do perform aspects of many other trades. Yes, we are not plumbers, but when it comes time to run a drain line or water line from point A to point B, we are required to know the proper procedure and practice while also understanding when its time to call a plumber. Same thing with electrical. Unless we have a specifically licensed technician, we wont pull wire, but that doesn't mean we are not wiring units as part of a repair or dealing with high/low voltage appliances. In the same regard to plumbing, we have to know when to call an electrician and allow the experts of that field to complete the required work. -Be weather and temperature tolerant (working on a walk-in freezer I can go from temperatures of -20F to 120+ on the roof in the matter of a minute multiple times during a diagnostic and will regularly work in those same temperatures for hours). -Encounter an issue on a unit/manufacturer that you have never encountered without becoming down spirited. Better yet, to actually look forward to these types of calls. Manuals are my best friend, and if your serious about entering this trade, they will be yours too. -Especially when entering the trade; have control over your ego and admit when you dont know something. Develop a resource network you can rely on to ask for help from. Working in the HVACR trade can be very challenging work, but it can be just as rewarding. Additionally, we have huge sectors to work with, ranging anywhere from residential, commercial, and industrial. I would also say that I would not recommend working in this industry. I love my work, but it can be a real beating (I imagine just like any other trade). During season, I regularly work 12 to 18 hour days, worst ones being 24+ hours (rare, but does happen). Depending on the on-call and backlog of work we have, I occasionally wont get a day off for two or three weeks (lack of technicians being the primary cause there). Additionally, the job is can be very laborious. Need to replace a compressor on the roof? Well, there's a lot of tools that need to be hauled up (tool bag, vacuum pump, recovery machine, recovery cylinder, nitrogen, gauges, torches, refrigerant, ropes, extension cords, repair specific components, and in some instances, copper line sets, tubing benders, swag kit, flare kit, chemical cleaners, leak checkers, ice, weather protection, coolers, water, hoses). Also, every job is somewhat separate and unique. When you are first entering the industry you'll find yourself possibly stressing out because you are either over prepared for the repair and therefore created unnecessary work for yourself or completely under-prepared in which case you also just created more work for yourself at best. I love my work and I enjoy this trade. If you choose to look more into this trade, or any other trade for that matter, I wish you the best of luck and hope for the greatest outcome for you. We are all brothers in sweat.

Since I was a kid there's always been a stigma coming from our parents/grandparents, so forth, that the trades are "menial, low-paying, mindless" labor. They always use things like "Do you want to become a ditch-digger when you grow up? Stay in school so you can become a doctor, or a lawyer." The same thing applies to fast food. I think it's an incredibly selfish thing because ultimately they just want bragging rights. "My son/daughter is a high-paid New York Lawyer." In addition, you get the surly gatekeeping old-timers borderline abusing apprentices, and new people trying to get into the trades. Those two things plus them being more physically demanding is what's keeping people out of the trades. Society, in it's current incarnation, has taught us the less work you do, the more money you make. A-la the do-nothing executives in large firms that sit in borderline illegally priced office chairs, staring out high-rise windows. I'm 52 now, and wished I would have gotten into the trades because each, and every one of them build real-life skills you can tap into when you want to do things for yourself. Tradesman are asking for astronomical amounts of money to do jobs most homeowners can accomplish for themselves if they put aside their fears, and do it. However, we desperately need tradesman for the things we cannot do ourselves.

plumbing is the most important, electrical is 2nd but pays more, but not as much as the top earners in hvac. only issue is getting to be one of those top earners is a bitch, you need to know everything an electrician knows plus low voltage controls, plumbing if youre in a colder area, the refrigeration cycle, be familiar with building management systems, the list goes on, and thanks to the EPA things change every few years so you cant just get comfortable with what you know, youre always learning new stuff, or being left behind. And unlike other trades your pay stays pretty low for the first couple of years, but then it just spikes up like crazy once everything in the puzzle starts to click. Honestly at the end of the day i feel like every trade pays about the same on the top end once you find your niche.

Regarding electrical demand, you guys completely jumped over Electrical Vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids. There will be a huge demand for upgrading service and installing charging stations. Then there is renewables. More people are going to want to have solar panels and/or batteries. Even if they don't have enough space to be completely independent of the grid, they can reduce dependency. My guess is that lots of companies installing solar and batteries are using specially trained technicians as opposed to journeyman electricians. As for the skilled labor gap, you folks should look up Mike Rowe. His institute has given away more than $1 million to applicants who want to study a skilled trade.

@@RogerWakefield I'm not talking about individual behavior. I also personally know several women in the trade that I work in (Plumbing/Pipefitting). My comment is more of a political comment moreso than an anecdotal one. Here is an expansion of my argument: 1) More women in the workforce (any job/career) = higher supply of workers. Higher supply of workers = depressed wages for everyone. The same argument against immigrants in the workplace as well. 2) The trades are a "rough and tumble" place where tensions are high and words are venom. The larger projects can get quite degerate at times in humor, in physicality, and in maturity. That is no place for a lady. I certainly would forbid my wife and/or daughter from entering into that environment, since as a man, it is my job to protect them. 3) Women have a different role and calling in society than to slave away in the workforce. They are designed to be wives and mothers, and we men need to protect and cherish that. Women in the workforce (with a few exceptions) are forced to betray their femininity and become more like a man when they enter a "man's world". Women are not men and should not be acting as such. Women should be acting like ladies, not like men. 4) More women in the workplace = higher issues with sexual immorality.

Plumbing is getting simpler. Electrical continues to encompass more and become more complicated. God bless plumbers, but electricians are just a little better.

According to the Department of Labor, average plumber make 61k electrician makes 82k. Sorry plumbers 😮 are test has a 30% pass rate , plumber test is a 70% pass rate. Not to be mean but it just takes more brains to be a electrician.owning a plumbing company is definitely more profitable but so is a mechanical shop, just doest apply to the workers sadly 😥

Roger, I attended ForgeNow and even though I watched a lot of your videos for plumbing I decided to follow my love for science and working so I did electrical. Do you know how to get a scholarship to help pay my tuition? Thanks and much love from dallas tx. @RogerWakefield

Meanwhile the adept automotive technician is a plumber, electrician, mechanic and HVAC-R all in one and his paycheck comes with a tub of Vasoline if you catch my drift ☠️ Leaving automotive was the best thing for my bank account. I went into plumbing. You can’t go wrong whether you choose to be a plumber, electrician or HVAC. Just don’t do them all for a fraction of the pay. That industry needs to get their shit together.

Your refrigerator, your water heater uses electricity, the power grid, let’s face it both are needed in our society and both compliment each other, all the trades need the other trades to do what they do
