Becoming a plumber typically starts with an apprenticeship, which combines hands-on experience with classroom learning, allowing individuals to earn while they learn. Apprenticeships in Oregon last about four to five years, requiring many hours of training under licensed professionals. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 736,000 plumbers nationwide, with 10,000 in Oregon, and projects a 6% job growth from 2022 to 2032. Apprentices earn an average of $600 per week in Oregon, with an annual overtime average of $4,800. Trade schools, unions, and platforms like Gild help aspiring plumbers find apprenticeship opportunities, leading to a career with strong earning potential—often exceeding $80,000 annually for experienced professionals.
