need an advice what to do next

[Jackdani]

Hi there. I have 4 years experience in deep drainage and 1 year experience as a plumber. At this moment I am working as a pipe fitter in deep drainage (cast iron, plastic and pressure pipes). However I am looking forward what to do next. Recently i was thinking of becoming a plumber, so maybe you got some advice for me on what should i do now? Thanks in advance

Deep drainage ? Vulcathene? Concrete? How deep ? If your experienced below 10m stick at it. Better money and less competition

If I did it all over I would probably set up in the drain jetting department I know 2 people who have done it and after 10 years both live mortgage free and are in undated with work. One turns over 20k a month as a one man band the other runs 3-4 blokes so do the math. Initial start up costs are about the same as plumbing but the demand to work ratio is better. People can make do without a new bathroom or dripping tap but a blocked drain tends to need sorting on the spot

Hello. yes, above 10 metre. In concrete. Problem is, that company is not giving me an opportunity to improve (learn further) despite i am working there for 4 years . The salary is ridiculous, thats why i want to change career. There are not many companies in London in deep drainage.
