I picked the wrong career. $110 an hour.
You could probably go online and learn to fix it yourself for a tenth of that.
Morning, all.
That's a pretty reasonably priced plumber. If you think a plumber who charges you $110.00 per hour is actually taking home that money, your ignorance is showing. Supplies, tools, vehicles, fuel, mileage, rent on a shop, property insurance, auto insurance, liability insurance, bond insurance, inventory, employee salary, employee match FICA, employee health insurance, advertising, etc., in other words overhead, all must be paid prior to him/her taking a salary. Also, to be a commercial plumber for hire, there is the special knowledge of national, state and local building codes that you must to be up to date on before you can get your bond insurance.
Plus, you can never bite your fingernails again. Ever.
