But better yet, the earning potential is available faster with Roto-Rooter of Columbus! Think about it. We all use water daily. It doesn't matter if it's a home or business. If the water is off, toilets are unusable or worse yet... water is not in the pipes where it is supposed to be, someone has to fix the situation and fast! Plumbing is not a field that can be outsourced. So, plumbers, especially service plumbers, enjoy some of the best job security anywhere. Earning potential... service plumbers have that on lock too. Look it up! Plumbing is among the highest paying jobs without a college degree and thousands in student loan debt. So, now you might be thinking "Okay, I believe what you're saying about the career. But you said great earnings were available faster with Roto-Rooter. What makes Roto-Rooter different?" Great question! Well, the traditional way into the trades, has always been through an apprenticeship. Nothing wrong with those programs, provided you are in a position to earn only $13-14 per hour in the first year, which is what those positions typically pay. At those rates, the first-year income is around $28,000, may be less. What do first year Roto-Rooter technicians earn? In 2017, they earned $45-70,000. Even on the low end, that's an $17,000 difference. Now times that by 4. Why 4? Because it takes at least 4 years to get a journeyman's license in Ohio. If you start at around $28,000 in year one, what kind of raise and income do you think you would earn in years 2-4? I'm not sure either. Even with a $1 per hour raise, it's still less than $45,000 per year. And, oh by the way, my Licensed Plumbers earned $80-120,00, in 2017 as well. If you do the math, it's easy to see why earning your license while working for us, is much more profitable than going through a traditional apprenticeship. Is this a "Dirty Job"? Sure, it is.
