If you are a plumber, you can work on a shed, or you can work on a mansion. It's just scale.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am a plumber. Just a plumber.
I wanted to be a plumber.
There are far too many people in university in Britain. If you want to make money, be a plumber.
One of my aims was to be paid as well as a plumber. Plumber was better-paid than any performance artist who was always doing this for free. It is so important to make a good living from art. You know, John Cage, until he was 60, he couldn't pay electricity.
I do have a fantasy life in which I can grout bathrooms - but not for a living.
Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.
I've always worked on my own home and different places that I've owned. I really enjoyed it. But I'm a mechanic, a motorcycle and car builder.
I am instinctively a network infrastructure plumber.
Going from sharing a one-bedroom place to living in a loft to two people living in a house to me having my own place by myself has kind of mirrored my career... small steps to bigger, to bigger, to now having a steady job.
As far as making a living, if plumbing earned more, I'd probably do it. At least you can leave the job at home once the tools are put away. A writer works in his mind 24/7.
