Becoming a plumber typically starts with an apprenticeship, which combines hands-on experience with classroom learning, allowing individuals to earn while they learn. Apprenticeships last about four years, requiring many hours of training under licensed professionals. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 736,000 plumbers nationwide, with projections of a 6% job growth from 2023 to 2033. In La Porte, IN, apprentices earn an average of $1,215.50 per week, with an annual overtime average of $48,620.
