i disagree with 9. Even though I was the one they always called when they had a problem that needed solving, the only thing company loyalty ever got me was low wages, being worked like a mule, and being kicked to the curved when I asked for a raise.
Yeah all i did was make someone wealthy while i lived paycheck to paycheck. I was told i was maxed out at 17.50 an hour. I was young and got taken advantage of. Earned me nothing but a race to be in last place. Now i make $50 an hour working by my self and I’m not making someone rich. I’m saving customer money instead of them paying big companies high wages for 10 people sitting in the office. Glad you understand what these companies game is. They hold a carrot infront of while you are running in one spot. They keep you thinking your going to make more money we just need to get you past this last jump and hoop. I cringe everytime i think of the 20 years wasted. I tell younger kids to earn their spot with a company and knowledge. Then leave to better pay after the company pay everything for you. School and training then maybe stay to earn them money for 6 months then run.
I learned a long time ago loyalty has an expiration date.. it's great to be loyal as long as you are recognized and payed according to your knowledge and loyalty otherwise time to move on.
I 100% agree with you. Loyalty comes with a price. If the company is not willing to pay the price, then it's time to try my luck with another company
What I've learned from experience is to accept another offer and then ask for a raise. So if they say no just drop them.
Companies aren't loyal at all so you need to treat them like the worst girlfriend you ever had. Always be looking to upgrade and treat them like trash.
1. Strong work ethic
2. Respect your mentor
3. Dependable and responsible
4. Positive attitude
5. Adaptability
6. Self starter
7. willing to learn
8. always be professional
9. loyal to the company
10. be confident
11. Try to be the best
Disagree with 9
Killer Video, for all those apprentices out there, follow the 10 steps and they will pay off. I worked with some bad ass plumbers in my apprentice years, and I’m grateful for em every day to this day, they are the ones who shape you! Trust in this.
@SirSnake V I appreciate that. I feel the same way!
THANK YOU!!! You are my hero! I'm a 62 yo divorced lady. I live alone, and like everybody, I have the occasional plumbing issue. I work a commission only job as a 1099, therefore, I pay for everything a W2 employee would receive as a benefit. That being said, I need to make every dollar stretch as far as I can. Your RUclips videos have helped me do that. I just got my disposal working again, when before I started it wasn't making a sound. AT ALL. So once again, I'm so grateful to you! I live in Alabama or otherwise I'd be tempted to call you to my rescue. But , since you're in Texas, and I couldn't afford to call you anyway, probably, I hope you'll take my words of affirmation as reward for all you've done to help me.
Thank you 🙏🏼 i needed this motivation to finish my apprenticeship
Thank you Roger. I really appreciate you putting in the time to make these videos and share all of your knowledge and experiences. I always learn something extremely useful whenever I wash one of your videos. I will be starting as an apprentice by the end of the month in Pennsylvania
Appreciate the vids u put out here man.. I'm getting into plumbing soon so these vids are a huge help to know what I should expect. Thank you!
Hey Roger, thanks for these great videos. I just stumbled upon them. We're family owner and we've been in business since 1974 up here in Ontario, Canada. As leaders in our market area we've got 24 employees in all and still
growing. With 6 apprentices, I'm going to play your 2 videos I just found at our meeting next week. I believe they will be helpful and well-received. (our tech coach is in Texas with Service Excellence!) And thanks for these great videos... keep em coming!
Your videos are helping me a lot. Thank you Roger.
Great tips Roger! Thanks 🙏🏿
Going to apply to my Local 55 Union here in Cleveland. I have to wait until the third Monday of next month, but I am going to do it, dammit!
Currently, I am working as a Quality Tech at a fastener distributor. I do not have much college education and have been feeling the need to find something I enjoy and will put my all into.
Thank you for the videos. I am ready to pursue a new chapter in my life and support my wife and our newborn.
Thank you! Great Video!
Lovin these videos. Definitely gonna get the UPC study guide.
I've learned so much from you bro thank you so much!!!
Hey Roger, hats off to ya brother.
I/we were there in Austin, I shook your hand B4 the rally & had to shake your had after all the speeches... all of you did a great job, but some of the things you spoke about really hit the nail on the head...👍🏻
The wife & I were setting on the capital steps just to the left of the podium & had to go get something to drink, I thought it was you speaking when I heard whoever it was speaking say only 8 plumbers showed up at the last TSBPE board meeting !
That stopped me in my tracks...
I’ve not attended a board meeting myself, but I promise you, I’ll be at the next board meeting...!!!
It’s time plumbers took the bull by the horns, and plumbers being at board meetings is the start...
I’m not a big company, but all 7 of us el be at the next board meeting...👍🏻
See You July 15th at 9AM

I just moved from Nevada to Texas to become a plumber apprentice. These videos help fuel my passion.
3rd year union apprentice and gas tech here. Good tips and I'm implementing the ones I'm not already doing. I signed up as a member to IAPMO and will purchase the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Study Guide and 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Illustrated Training Manual to hep further my education. I used to get put off that I didn't get the exposure I wanted to on some jobs (e.g. being stuck on materials on a big site) but now understand there's more I can do for myself after having read the IPT's Pipe Trades Handbook & Training Manual, which is all I could think of doing outside of work up until now. Thanks Roger.
Thank you very much for your videos and knowledge you share Roger. I teach Plumbing Technology at a Tech College and use your videos as learning tools and quizzes. I appreciate you sharing because it is good for my students to hear from another professional about all the opportunities there are for a plumber or pipe fitter.
Thanks for the wisdom. GOD BLESS
Thanks, Mr Roger Wakefield for the knowledge you have shared with us I have really learnt a lot and am Igor to learn more.
Thank you sir Roger. Just stumbled to your vid. And it's very helpful
Keep up the great work! Thank you for all the helpful advice.
@Martin Lara what are you learning from here?
@@RogerWakefield all the advice is helpful! Also advice given to you by all the plumbers you've met throughout your career. Study for 30 min. a day for 6 months of the year and you could end up being in the 5% of all plumbers.
Hard work and dedication goes far in this trade. I appreciate you taking the time on making these vdeos, thank you.
+Martin Lara thank you for the comment!
I watch your videos every once in awhile. First year apprentice, will be second year here shortly. I'm still trying to learn so much. I definitely work my hardest. Ik I have the intelligence and mind to do it. I want to make a great living and have a great career. If anyone is reading this I am willing to listen to your story on your trades or if you're a plumber yourself. I may need to switch to a different company here sooner or later because I just don't feel like I'm not learning much right now.
I love this and its applicable in my electrical apprenticeship. I took a pre-apprenticeship and really enjoyed the plumbing parts of class. Got hired in electrical first, my hope would be to learn both.
Rigoberto Ruiz if you end up with a company that does both it could still happen. I know a guy here that is a master plumber, electrician, and HVAC Technician. That's greatness!!!
Roger Wakefield - Wow! Well for now I will take it one day at a time! But I know my goals.
As someone whose transitioning careers i can't wait to give back to a company that gives me a chance. You can put loyalty and hard working on a resume and those are some of my stand out qualities
Brother I love this video and I think I will start showing it to my new apprentices I have hired.
If you want to impress your journeyman on your very first day on the job. Know how to read a tap measure. Know what 1/16's- 1/8's- 1/4's and know how to add , subtract, multiply and divide fractions. If you know these basic math skills on your first day, you will be way ahead of your compitition. advice for the first year (first day)
Thank you for your insight and passion. It is people like you who have cemented the idea that I've made the right decision to be a plumber.
+James Cunningham this is an amazing career. You can do what you wan to in this trade. Move up with a company or open your own company. What is your favorite thing abou plumbing?
@@RogerWakefield honestly, my favorite thing is that no two days are alike. Even if I am running copper, PEX, CI, or PVC, each day brings a new learning experience and challenges to face. I couldn't agree more with your statement on being adaptable. A perfect example I can give for me is this past week when the journeyman I am working with an I were setting valve bodies for the tub spouts on the project we are on. I learned how to work around obstacles that were in the way of the installation.
James Cunningham that’s what it’s all about. Keep it up! Wonderful career!!!
Thank you I shared this with your company
Thank u! Going to share with some Apprentices and Journeymen too!
Have you subscribed? We put out new videos all the time...
I appreciate you am Jawara from Sierra Leone I like your motivation on this video
Great video great advice!!!!!👍🏼
+Ricardo Granados Thank you. Are you in plumbing yet? Or are you thinking about getting into the trade?
Only a few hours away from finishing my apprenticeship, Im learning as much as I can. Thank you for this channel 🙏
@Jose Guerrero I am happy for you. Where did you do your apprenticeship?
The Expert Plumber currently at mustang plumbing working roughs for the past 2 years. Patiently moving up and learning little by little.
Jose Guerrero keep doing what you’re doing then. Isn’t this a great profession?
The Expert Plumber yes sir! It’s fun more than anything once you get the hang of it.
thanks Rodger good stuff
Very good video. All apprentices should watch this when they start working. Fortunately for me I've worked under fantastic Journeyman during my apprenticeship and they all have said the same things you've said here. I just turned out with my time in Local 1 NYC and I can tell anyone reading this, you definitely know what you're talking about. The only thing I'd say appreciates should also do is attend union meetings and rallies regularly (if you're in a union). Also; plumbers are like wash women so make sure to keep ya mouth shut!
+Victor Vinegar congratulations on Local 1. Is John Cullen still there. He is a great man. I had classes with him at the Instructor Training Program.
Thank you. I don't recognize the name. A few instructors retired. Maybe he was one of em.
@Victor Vinegar he is one of my best memories of the ITP. Such a great guy that really cared about teaching others this great profession!
Mr Wakefield thank you for your wise words !
@Gaige Gdp you are welcome. What was your favorite part?
I liked everything you said and this is a part of respecting the plumbing master that you work under: listen. Try to not be off somewhere else in your head or do that thing you do to your parents where you hear what's being said. But you're not listening. So you don't do something like hear them say get me my large channel locks, and then after you give them the normal channel locks because all the heard was channel locks.
I’m a Terd-year apprentice. Good advice. I’m the princess of the year every year
I'm actually joining the union in DFW myself right now I'm studying for the apprentice exam
I am a plumber in jamaica just start in the industry i want to be the best i can thank you for your tips God bless you
Hey
Great video!
I’m thinking to get an apprenticeship in New Zealand as a plumber , hopefully it won’t be difficult
You can do it!
Hey Roger, big fan. Aside from the UPC, what is a good way to study at home?
Roger loves the video! Heading to Arizona in a few months and gunning for a spot in n open shop. Im a home inspector now and hoping that knowledge I have will help me advance and shine a little more in the plumbing game. Keep doing what you’re doing. Very motivating and uplifting
Your rules apply to any job!
Very impressed with not only your passion for plumbing but the way you articulate yourself! Keep doing videos and the subscribers will roll on in. I'm flirting with the idea of abandoning a career situated primarily in an office setting. I like moving around and working hard manually. Would this seem like a crazy idea for a 25 year old to do? Some of my close friends/family would deem it crazy but I just think they'd be crazy to not see plumbing as a practical and safe career choice compared to the "white collar" job market of today.
Take it from me, you are never too old to start a new career. I'm 40 years old myself and am just starting my career as a plumber (I'm a first year apprentice and I'm just waiting to get my interview with the union but I'm proud to be working as a provisional apprentice with Brandt.) I wish I had made this choice to be a plumber so many years ago.
@@jcunning067 Wow congrats, i'm glad you're happy with your choice. Always scary taking that plunge! I just cant imagine being an office drone for the rest of my life and the pay pales in comparison to what a fully licensed plumber can make. A lot of the work nowadays is salaried annual contract work, while a skilled plumber will always have work. Just seems like such a clear choice...
+Mack Hughson I’m not sure what you do now but plumbing has been so rewarding for me. I actually enjoy going to work every day. 25 is not too late to start. If you’re getting into the union you still have time to earn full pension. Are you thinking residential or commercial, service or new construction?
@@RogerWakefield not sure yet, what do you reccomend? Also I feel like I need a pre-apprenticeship course considering I've never had much formal training with plumbing. Think this is the right move?
Check out the video I did about studying for the exam. The UPC Study guide that I have a link for is a great study tool. Not sure about pre-apprentice training but if you can find it, it sure won't hurt. Do you like building things or fixing things?
Will this upc guide be useable for Canada? Or is this code only suitable for US codes?
So so so true.
8 month apprentice here in Dallas . #10 seems to be hardest for me I'm always scared to mess something up. Had a Difficult PRV I wanted to install the other day with my own hands but between the wonky irrigation tie in and the few 90's I needed I decided to maintain a visual and let the actual pro do it. Just beat myself up a lot I just wanna be the best I can. I push myself to my physical limits everyday and try to be as high speed as I can.
How have you been doing lately?
Should I get the newest upc or should I get the 2018?
Smashed the like button
+Elvis I love it!!!
I have 3200 hours, ill be ready for the tradesman test around August. I started doing new construction and did that for 1 year. Now i am in service and working on tunnels and slab leaks. I want to learn alot more so i can be the best plumber i can be. Any tips? I live in dallas tx, plumbing is my life and i seriously love running pvc drain and vents.
I'm at a major crossroad in my life (partially because of how crazy things are now with COVID-19) where I have the chance to evaluate and change directions. These videos and others have been very helpful. Thanks!
There's great opportunities in the trades Thomas.
Im a plumber out of New york State , Should i read up on UPC or IPC , because ive seen on a website that new york adopted the IPC .. Anyone help plz ?
22 Started my apprenticeship last week. Hard work but i know it’s gonna pay off in the long run
I'm 20 just now applying for an apprenticeship. Good to see a fellow whippersnapper in the plumbing trade.
I am wondering where do I go if I am a brand new beginner at plumbing? Do I go sign up with the Union, or find a job being a Plumber's assistant? I have really basic knowledge about plumbing,, and have a ton to learn... but it's just something I would like to do, and it makes a good income. What do you think?
Do you have a course or something to learn about basic or beginners plumbing? I’m starting a new plumbing apprentice job in a week and I want to get as much knowledge as I can
Plumbing wasn't for me but I loved the trade so I got into wholesale I share the same work ethic I'm there every day and I love my job and I do what I do and I'm successful
How long does it take to be a residential service plumber? I know a guy who said after a year he could go out and do it, I’ve been at it for almost 3 months I can’t find any evidence on how long it does to be a service plumber
Hey thanks for the great video. Im in my 2nd year of apprenticeship and was really starting to become unmotivated. This video really reshaped my mind frame towards the field and has me eager to go to work tomorrow. Thank you
AirSOSO Bledsoe any pointers or tips for someone looking to just start out?
@AirSOSO Bledsoe I'm glad that you liked it! What did you like best about it?
@Crispy C are you already plumbing? Where at?
@@RogerWakefield hi there does that upc book apply to the southern California as well
Can you work part time as an apprentice or is it full time only?
Just put in my application with the local 646. Any tips or possibly a whole video on how to stand out in the interview to get hired?
Thanks, Hi Is good idea , I ‘m trucker and I want to switch to plumber ??
Great video! Coming from SC. Currently in code class and intro to residential. Right now I’m learning the basics. Types of pipes, fittings, etc. Only thing with the code class is it’s not much help being online and my teacher for the classes not being passionate but simply just there for a role as a teacher. I have the IPC book, and looking for ways to better understand it. Any tips for starters? Seems overwhelming in the beginning
+Jamie Revis it can be overwhelming. I recommend the UPC study guide because of the way it is set up. I have a video about studying in it and it really has worked for me. Who are your classes through?
The Expert Plumber okay but it’s through a technical college here in Rock Hill. I’ll have my certificate in May. I have a buddy on said he can get me onto a great company that has benefits and has over 100 working trucks called Price Brothers. Pretty excited but I know it’s gonna be hard work and I’m trying to master my craft. Great videos man keep them coming
I'm just now trying to get into plumbing I just hope I can find a place that have a good attitude
Have a good mindset and work and learn as much as possible and you can only move up! 💪🏻 good luck to you
Sir. I'm in the military right now and I'm a utilitiesman our job description is plumbing and HVAC. They teach us the basic of plumbing and HVAC, now I'm done with our schooling. And I'm on my first duty station now at Mississippi. I found out that I'm not really gonna do plumbing work at my first station and it's more on office work.
By your videos I want to continue to pursue this career when I go back to the civilian world but the problem is I don't have a mentor that can guide me to ultimate plumbing. And plumbing is kinda new to me. I only started learning it when they sent us to our basic school for it.
Can I work on a plumbing apprenticeship for part time?
Just focus on ranking up and mastering your immediate jobs. Take what you learn from the military and apply it to civilian side when you hang the career up.

You should🤣😅
Mid life career change for me, gonna try and join Austin's 286.
It's worth it
Just wondering if age will be a deterring factor? Im 46 years of age and starting my life over. How long did it take to become a shop owner etc?
@Heath Marshall in Texas you can start a company in as little as 5 years. You may want to learn a little more than that but that's what the law allows.
My journeyman has no idea the storm thats coming.
I wanted to start but people keep telling me my joints and body will be worn out by my 40s is this true ?
I’m 54 I closed my business during the pandemic. Have broad education and have a lot of experience remodeling and also have a design background making construction drawings. I feel a little old to start a new profession but I need to do something and have thought plumbing may be an option. Med gas preferably. Thoughts anyone?

Got 3 college degrees, two undergrad degrees and a masters in business. Have over 15 yrs of automotive exp working on my own cars all the way to engine swaps and soldering/wiring harnesses. Excellent with tools and working with my hands. I'm 34 and I'm tired of applying to white collar jobs with hundreds of other applicants. I also want to get into a blue collar job so I can work for myself one day. I'm extremely enthusiastic and hard working in absolutely everything I do. I'm now learning older guys are entering the trade, 30s and 40s. Hope I'm not starting late. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
2dble fistn I’m a 37 year old female who’s 7 months into my first year apprenticeship in our local union. I love it. I was an X-ray and mammogram tech for 15 years and hated it. Grew up on a farm and like doing actual “work.” My age has never been an issue, NEVER! Being a female is the only issue I’ve ever had considering I’m the second female to ever go through our program...and she went through the program over 10 years ago. They care about if you’re a hard worker, want to learn, be willing to learn, and always being busy.
@@YUHAS001 Thanks for your input. I just landed a temp position as an HR specialist so we'll see how it goes. I however do like working with my hands and am very good at it. Good luck in your apprenticeship :)
You still slaving away in the office?
@@rawkingkong Working from home now, making good money and some days I barely have work. Definitely not bad.

Smith Sharod lots of times your local plumbing supply shop with have tons of now hiring papers on their walls somewhere at least here for me
Go on google look up plumbing companies and start calling I did that got my first job then again did the same thing now switched companies 👍
1 year too late but for anyone reading this asking the same questions I suggest your check Craigslist first. It’s how I got my apprenticeship at a pretty solid plumbing company locally. Do your due diligence. Almost any company worth its salt will have a Social media account so you can always check IG and FB and call. If not, google the closest union near you.
Hey I need help. I want to be a plumber but I don’t know what’s the first step to do
First you need to figure out if you want to do new construction or service. Residential or commercial. Do you know what I’m talking about?

Basketball Enlightenment where do you live?

Yes Sir you are. Check into the United Association Union there and see what they have going on. They would be a great place to start on commercial work.

Struggling like fuck to get back in the trade no ones got room at the inn everyone wants that license how can I get around these damn work hours
I'm from Canada and I'm looking to start in this career at 28. I'm wondering what the UPC equivalent is in Canada.
Good question…
Do y’all not have the UPC or IPC???
Apparently Canada has its own requirements and reference standards. And its very vague unlike the US offering the UPC. I'm going to pound the pavement with resumes because that seems like the best avenue. The fact that you replied to a 4 year old video is spectacular, thanks so much.
What about to make a video to immigrant to be accepted as apprentice . Hard and easier things for a people from another country that staying their life here in USA .
Fantastic information, but for boys. Not real men who have all of these common sense-built in core values and integrity. BUT... lots of guys need this advice, regardless of age. Some never learn.
UA LOCAL 1!!
@Love Rex is John Cullen still an instructor there? Great guy!
@@RogerWakefield Yes, part time evening instructor great guy
Did you always wanted to be a plumber and how did you know.
#9 yes the company is paying you, but the other side, without the employees, no company, I have seen companies, oil service to be exact, on Long Island ny , that had no idea have to service and even know what goes into a heating system everything goes two ways, sorry for some bad English, but get the point
The problem with trades starting out is the older cats crap on you for no reason
Never met an owner to date, that enjoys babysitting, why would an owner within any business, hire a person, then having to follow them post there call completion. Might as well as owner, complete the calls yourself. Two catagorys apply, one being self-starter within office, most important primary is within actual calls, call backs are overhead, 85% within call backs is due to cookie cutter workmanship, triangle within being a true cookie cutter, lazyness/ low quality tools/ not ready within real world u.s standards to run calls completely solo, lack within actual experience, replacing a hose Bibb, and-or supply lines, and-or a bathroom lavatory pop-up assembly does not place qualified/ over night thought within what many feel makes them an actual plumber. Those 3-aspects mentioned above qualifies within nothing more/less than a glorified handyman. Much much more involved, actually never will know each/every transition through process, many different types within plumbers, within many different settings,, last but wizard oz least being codes change every 2-calendars, being said no one knows, and-or will know everything within this occupation. Guy mentions he's fully tankless water heater capable/nothing he hasn't done as example, during non-consenting initial tankless water heater debut days yes, condensing tankless water heaters enter sector within process, no clue towards process, especially venting requirements as example, removing existing non-condensing tankless water heater unit, setting/installing new condensing tankless water heater, tieing into existing single, and-or double wall galvanized b-vent. Knows fundamentals yes, doesn't know unit will be warranty void upon his very first call to designated manufacturer. Glorified, you add the following word, hint, starts with an "h" . Ends with an "n"
