Considering the numbers of natural disasters, construction jobs and routine damage caused to household appliances due to normal wear and tear, it's not a surprise that jobs in the plumbing industry are growing. According to the United States Department of Labor, jobs for plumbers may grow by 26 percent during the 2010 to 2020 decade. To get started as a plumber, men and women generally sign up for apprenticeships. It's here that they often learn or hone the skills of their trade. Many state laws also require plumbers to take licensing examinations and get licensed before they start providing plumbing services to customers.

However, state regulations may not prevent some plumbers from doing less than satisfactory work.
