Hello from a Career Changer (Need Advice)

[rugsrk]

Hey everyone,

So I'll probably get banned for this post since I'm not yet a professional, but I need some advice on making a career change to a plumber, or at least a part-time plumber

I'm currently a pilot for a major airline in the US and wanted to see what's the best way to become a plumber. This is something I've thought about doing for a while, but I was hesitant to give up flying since I enjoy it for the most part. I have a family friend I grew up with who owns his own shop and I thought about going out with him on jobs and helping out.

My plan would be to still fly (if possible) while gaining the necessary hours to become licensed. I'm in the tri-state area (think NY, NJ). Is there any chance at making this work without leaving flying all together and focusing on plumbing for 5+ years?

Maybe I can find a shop that just needs help part time and I could apprentice there when I'm off from my main job. If anyone get give me some advice before I get banned, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks so much.

We're so good at picking on plumbers, but what if there's a breakdown and everyone drowns in shit? It is not shameful if a person can and wants to do something with his hands. Who can guarantee that the current profession is for life?

We find fault with the plumbers so well, but what if there is a breakdown and everyone drowns in the shit? It is not shameful if a person can and wants to do something with his own hands. Who can guarantee that the current profession is for life? For family reasons, I had to move to India and look for a job here. My past specialty was not useful to me in any way. Fortunately, there was an optional specialty. The Government Job I found on the sarkariprep.in Just coincided with the second profession. I'm not saying that you have to be a plumber, but if there is a desire, why not.
