buddy for a second year apprentice it seems you know it all.
you'll find out eventually that the things you learn from bigger job's (ie. union jobs), you wont learn in domestic, so the no experence comment is wrong im a fact of this as i did my whole plumbing apprentiship in domestic and now, work on bigger site's and ill tell ya what when i got there i thought i knew it all, but soon found out how little i did know, 2 totaly different types of plumbing, its good to know both... you'l only get more of an idea not less so you might wanna do a year in it and see for your self.
and i know your thinking well your notgood enought to start your own show, so you took the easy way but not true im only geting an aspect from every side, befor i decide what i want to do, and i have 3 good friends that run there own plumbing show and ill tell you that its one thing to be been good on the tools and an other to be good and running you own show, keep an open mind eventually you'll see what im saying as you get some years behind you.
good luck and by all means let me know what you charge cause iv got so much work i cant keep up so if you thing you can do some of this work un guided and have you own tools so on, let me know and ill get you some work with me,
i can also get you saturday work with my mate for cash as well

Any trade can pay well mate! as far as i know sprinkler fitters are one of the best payed trades with some of the best conditions!
And id rather be a nerd than have to fish around in someones toilet!

every trade has advantages and disadvantages. like s11 turbo said any trade can pay well , depends who you work for, and if your boss thinks your worth more $.

im a plumber, work for myself, and i pay myself extreemly well...i think im worth it though.LOL, as for nath regarding union sites, stick to domestic, union is piss easy (and boring), did it for 5 years, any monkey can do it. stick to domestic learn evrything you can, then go work for yourself, then when all these I.T nerds call you to fish in their dunny coz the kebab from Friday nite has blocked it up....charge like ****!!! LOL...

but in all honesty ive copped a few belts the last few yrs ive been working as a sparky, i reckon i prefer being electrocuted over having to fish around in strangers toilets, just my opinion anyways lol... but like Kane said, get into the union sites mate, at the end of the day its all the same ****, uve worked domestic for a bit so youve got the experience there, go earn some real money!
Im a plumber, I always wanted to be a sparky though. When I went in for an interview the boss said dont bother mate, your way to over qualified to be an electrician. I had a grade 6 pass at the time, I did a few more years at high school and became a Plumber.
