Ron Wells (left) Being a plumber is great. It's hard work, it’s physical, but and you get to meet a lot of different people and learn a lot about the trade. I couldn’t do without the program. I used to be supervisor for Federal Express, this is a lot more difficult but it’s also a lot more fulfilling. You feel like your part of something after every build you work o you can go back a feel a sense of accomplishment. Learning the math and drawing challenging but I’m getting through it.
Pat Summy The best part is the paycheck, the hardest part is showing up to work. This is fun, putting the pipes together.
Jay Powell I went to culinary school for two years but decided I didn’t want to be chef. Plumbing is a good time, you feel a sense of the accomplishment. You get to look back and say I did the plumbing that building. The hardest part for me is commuting from Santa Rosa.
