There’s Pride in the Trades It takes a special person to be able to learn and understand the complex and technical nature of most skilled trades. To be a plumber, electrician, carpenter, mechanic or machinist requires attention to detail, sheer smarts and hard work. These are honorable professions that don’t deserve the negative stigma that seems to persist. Wages for electricians and plumbers are respectable too. The average salary for a plumber, according to a current salary report on Indeed is $42,000. For an electrician it’s $47,000. A journeyman machinist can earn up to $49,000. And if the number of jobs for these skills continues to outpace available candidates, you can expect these averages to go up. If you choose to work as an apprentice, you can start earning a living right away as you learn your trade.
