I know all you plumbers on here started somewhere. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice they could share on getting started.
A little background:
I've done plenty of plumbing before working for general contractors but it seems no one is willing to consider hiring someone without experience working for another plumber. I've tried looking through the classified ads, asking at the plumbing supply, and even stopping by a couple of the larger plumbing companies and inquiring.
The only way in I've found so far is to go through the union. I've submitted an application anyway but it's not an easy job to get basically they'll take 18 of 120 applicants and practice affirmative action so half of them are probably women and minorities.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
