Contracting and the Way You Were Parented

[rootsnall]

When I was growing up the advice was always get into IT or a similar office job, it's a job for life, etc. Don't be a builder or a plumber, that's what the monkey's do.

They seem to have done alright over the last ten years. Most of the builders I know are minted.

The builders who are minted are businessmen who happen to work in the building industry. Plumbers, brickies etc work a lot harder than we do to earn 200 a day, and that is good money. Don't encourage your kids to be builders unless they are obviously not cut out for sitting on your arse work.

I know plumbers who earn a fat load more than 200 a day

They must be ripping off grannies ! Some probably do get away with charging more but the daily rate sub contracting round my way was 200 tops when I last hired one.

I was under the impression that the only requirement to being a contractor was that you should still be living with your mum.
