- Plumbing is by far one of the best skilled trades jobs in high demand. Plumbers are needed all over the world and the versatility of this career path has been proven repeatedly. The pandemic has not affected plumbing jobs and I believe that automation will also not affect plumbing jobs. Automation is quickly disrupting most work environments across the world. Are you doing anything to prepare for automation and the removal of a large majority of easy jobs? In this video I discuss how automation will change this job environment, but it will not likely affect plumbers and other trades like electrical and HVAC. Get a job as plumber, start a plumbing business or specialize in another trade to protect yourself from the BOTS!!
This video will tell you everything you need to know about why you should choose a plumbing career. From having a skill that you will be able to take anywhere in the world to having multiple career and non career opportunities, plumbing is by far one of the best career choices you could make for yourself. I love plumbing and in just a short while of being a plumber there have been multiple opportunities that have been presented to me. Once your in it your a part of it for life.

HI Nate, thanks for a great youtube channel! Do you know by any chance if it often happens that Plumbing companies hire international students before they start their Apprenticehsip? (Work visa is always difficult to get in a lot of industries and I don't know if it's the same in the Plumbing industry) I've already contacted a bunch of Schools and Unions in the Cincinnati area but they don't know. Thank you!
Awesome question!! What country are you coming from? It also excites me to know you are trying to go to Cincinnati since I work out of Cleveland. We have a great state with lots of opportunities! To answer your question, I believe typically you will need a visa before you can start an apprentichip program if your working through a company. If your finding it difficult to go this route then I would advise doing an apprentichip at a college first (Tri-C is Cleveland's college that offers trade programs, along with some other smaller schools). Im not sure of the qualifications of visas and what they look for but from the people I have worked with it seems easier to get an education visa first and then work your way into a job from there. Let me know your thoughts and I hope this helps to answer your question.
@@PlumberNate Thanks so much for getting back to me....I just spent a week straight searching a researching asking questions all around. Seems like it's impossible for me to get an Apprenticeship in the US because they don't allow international Students to do so. (I can't afford to pay for School without having a job, which I can't do over there sadly--I already have a useless M.S...). The only alternative I can think of is to get my License through an online School and do the 4 years where I am (Western Europe). I hope that work here will be accepted as work in the US (they make it so difficult). I may also apply for a H2-b Visa a couple of years from now by a company that will sponsor me but I don't know anyone in this trade in Ohio. Would you advise me to make an appointment with the boss of different companies around town and talk to them? Cheers and thanks again!
@@lorelaigermain7708 Glad to hear back from you! Sounds like you've been doing some serious digging around. If your finding it that difficult to work here in the US then I would absolutely go the route of learning the trade where you currently live/somewhere else you can go. School would be a smart way to get started getting experience and from there you will probably meet other students who are employed. This could help find employment. One thing I always talk about is how versatile the plumbing trade is. Once you learn this skill you can take it all around the world. Depending where you end up you will probably have to learn about certain practices of that region. One of the best things you can do is reaching out to local businesses and begin networking with individuals and business owners in the trade. Another way to do this is to go to trade shows/plumbing Expos and find any free plumbing related events you can. Hope this bit of info helps!!
@@PlumberNate Great, ideas! Really appreciate it!
I'm looking into the trades and so far plumbing is at the top. I didn't realize in my family there are a few generations of trades. Your videos are very helpful and full of good information so I'm definitely subbing.
Yeah man its an awesome trade to be apart of. That had to be pretty cool to find out your family has a history in construction which means these were people who really helped develop this country's. Appreciate the shoutout!!
I love what your doing here my brother keep it up. Master plumber myself. Down here in South Carolina there is a huge shortage of plumbers and tradesmen (especially good ones). Nobody wants to work anymore. They will be sadly disappointed when their skill set or lack there of becomes obsolete due to technology. The price of a plumber is about to go up drastically.
Completely agree!! at some point people are going to have to fill these positions because everybody cant sit at home or do a computer job. We need to find a way to reach them at a young age and get them trained.
I used to be a cook at a variety of restaurants and I am confident we will see most of the big chains and franchises become fully automated. Pizza is definitely a dish that a robot can easily whip out and control costs better due to exact portion control. In fact there are a few robotics companies working with pizza restaurants now on full automation. Just a matter of time. Skill up now before it’s too late. Great message as usual, Nate!
Great example and thank you!!
Glad I went to trade school in plumbing
Nice!! How long have you been working as a plumber?
Plumbers can also be replaced by robots..once they are capable of it. There will be more humanoid robot s than actual people.
@@GavinHurring for new construction easily. Service plumbing no way within 100 years
@PlumberNate i work for a plumbing company as a laborer part time. And also work for a fruit and vegetable company during the harvest season. We are seeing huge ai and robotics up grades there as the work is repeative. Plumbing is to complex at present but who knows around the corner we are in the start of the 4th industrial revolution .
@ yeah service plumbing is to complex for robots. New construction though would be easy to have robots build. I can’t imagine a robot coming into some of these homes and fixing pipes/cleaning drains. I think k we are far off from that. AI is already being used in all forms of construction and that will make our jobs much easier
automation won't replace actual plumbers.. i work in the industry, and def it's something i have thought about on a commercial level.. now, where ppl could get 'reduced' numbers-wise is in the engineering pre-fab phases.. but even with respect to that, you would have more personnel office side who would be technical plumbers and deserve to be paid higher.. i think we should be pointing our fingers more at american business culture and less at 'automation' (which is a loaded, and very vague term with respect to design)
in a commercial building where everyone on the job knows the floor/building height and all the 'developed lengths', there is no reason that things can't be pre-fabbed in the shop and delivered pre-assembled.. you see this so often on the hvac side of mechanical contracting. the only real issue in plumbing would be cast-iron and the heavier pieces being hoisted manually.. but, i think a shop being close to a job-site.. auto-cad engineers who can actually work with their hands and people on site to install.. i don't really see commercial plumbing staying the same for very much longer... i think we can reduce our collective carbon footprint with a tiny amount of planning and engineering of systems. we should be on the cutting edge being commercial plumbers in a large, dynamic american city but surprisingly the industry has changed very little in the last 20 years even though our computing power has grown exponentially.. i think ppl everywhere are sort of getting their heads around the power of tech and its application to physical processes.. this is actually one of my favorite areas of interest, personally.
I wanna become a trucker but I feel like the rates are gonna go down for orders once the trucking industry become Electric. Companies know now that their is no reason for them to be paying so much since gas won't be used no more. Any year now maybe decade the trucking industry could die. Plumbing seems like a more secured career for now and the future.
Thanks for the input. My thoughts exactly! We need to focus less on CDl a/b licenses and more on our trades.
you look super baked man lol
lol
Agree 100% with you. From one plumber to another. #UALOCAL1
Bro that has to be the coolest Union to be apart of
Yo my man I got a question for you. I wanna get into plumbing but there’s no way I’m goin union just cause of competition and person reasons you got any tips on going open shop I’m afraid of going to a shit company and getting used
Great question man!! Sometimes the competition can be tough, and that happens in both union and non union shops, depending on the job market where your at. It’s fairly simple if your trying to avoid the union. You want to do a job search on google, Indeed or similar job search engine and your going to search plumbing. Go over company reviews of places that sound good to you and reach out to the companies for interviews. The interview process is where you really find out about a company and how it operates. Take into consideration, your perception of the owner, manager and other employees. Are they friendly, nice, do they seem happy? What do the cars in the parking lot look like? Ask lots of questions during your interview! Vacation, pay, benefits, what does the company do for its workers? Does the company use new equipment that makes the job easier or are all the tools outdated and in poor condition? What is the daily work schedule like? Etc etc. It’s up to you to vet these places out and find the one that best fits what you like. Keep in mind that if you ever feel like a company is using you, speak up about it! Too many jobs and opportunities out here so no need to work for a company that doesn’t respect you.
@@PlumberNate thanks for the response man appreciate it. I’m gonna look into some company’s and hopefully all goes well. Ik I just seen rotor rooter in my area had a training program but I’m not sure how they are as a company I’ve heard mixed reviews.
@@Killerrob-rn3os You should take any opportunity you can. You can learn a lot at a company like that. The rooters are going to have you doing sales where you can make a good commission on the work you do. Best of luck and reach out if you need anything!!
@@PlumberNate thanks man appreciate you I’m hoping things work out for me. I want my own business one day that’s the only way to achieve maximum freedom
@@Killerrob-rn3os There is no reason for it to not workout for you. Yeah the business route is the way to go. I've been on my own now for about 6 months and I haven't looked back.
How can we reach out to you?
You can reach out to me on here. What can I do for you?
Just got certified not sure where to look for work without the jab smh
Haha right. I have yet to see that as a requirement for plumbing work so you should be alright in that department.
Lol this guy is funny
Nah he's not lying
