Champion Plumbing offers expertise about life in the home service industry
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Champion Plumbing, a leading provider of plumbing services to the Oklahoma City area, encourages job seekers to consider working in the home services industry. With over seven years of experience as a plumbing business owner, Brent Harpole says a life in the trade opens up a wealth of opportunities for young professionals who want to have a great career.
“When I was growing up, everyone made the assumption that you needed a four-year college degree to be successful in life,” said Harpole, owner of Champion Plumbing. “While this mindset has changed somewhat over time, people still don’t understand the benefits of becoming a plumber, HVAC technician, or electrician. Students who choose to work in the home services industry will not only be able to provide for their families, but also avoid large college debt.”
While there are various reasons to work in the trades, Harpole offers these three main benefits:
- Vocational school is cheaper: The expensive nature of traditional four-year colleges is well documented. When it comes to trade schools, they are significantly cheaper. According to Forbes, the average cost of attending a four-year college in 2021-22 was about $10,740 with the cost of a trade school being as low as possible $5,000.
- The trades pay well: Looking at averages, paychecks for trading jobs are either at or above those that require a four-year degree. Annual wages for recent trade school graduates are far higher $50,000 yearly. These wages may increase due to certifications and other training.
- Jobs are numerous: Nationwide there is no shortage of home service companies looking for skilled workers. This gives potential employees the opportunity to choose the company that best fits their corporate culture.
“Four-year colleges aren’t for everyone,” Harpole said. “For students who like to be more hands-on, a career in crafts may be the best option. You gain hands-on experience during trade school and have a viable path after graduation. In addition, you can afford an amazing life for your family.”
