Does it change your mind to learn that most of the work plumbers do doesn't involve toilets, and they charge upwards of $600-$1200 per hour for house calls?

I remember a guy at school who wanted to be a plumber and I was like "you want to work on people's shit pipes? Seriously?". He must have known something because I bet he's rolling in cash today.

It's one of the few "dirty" jobs where the pay makes it more than worthwhile.
