Hi, I'm looking to get into the plumbing trade, and need some help as to where to start. Is this a pretty solid job to get myself into? Would I need to go to a special school? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

In most cases, you will need to get into an apprenticeship. Most are usually 4 years. You work at the trade days and go to school a couple nights a week.

I started out cleaning drains. Depends if you want to do service and repair or new installation. New install work is only good when the economy is building, but service work is dirty and you're fixing a a lot of broken and failed stuff.
