As for plumbing, it's a good paying job as long as you get your license. Just being a plumbers helper won't pay much. Journeyman's license is good, but Master is when you make the bucks. It's rare to see a plumber still doing the manual labor much past the age of 40 because it can take a toll on you. Up and down, on your knees, on your back, in a ditch, out in all kinds of weather standing in who knows what fixing a leak, working on weekends when people need you most, working on holidays when people need you most.....need I go on? Equipment operator is good if you get something to run with an enclosed cab for those less than great weather days. The other downfall, when the weather is bad you may not be working and most contractors won't pay you if your not working. Ever been by the pub on a rainy day and noticed the parking lot was full? Those are usually construction workers which include equipment operators. The key to a good job, is a job you enjoy. Your young and have plenty of time to experiment and try new things. Do your homework and you will be successful. Oh and you mentioned you had a Class B with air license, why not take the test for an A and have it in your pocket even if you never use it? Always easy to fall back on a drives job if needed, and right now there are lots of Class A driver jobs out there if you don't mind being on the road a lot. Good luck on which every direction you go, and always go in smiling!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
