The value that the plumber brings to society is 100x the value of the therapist.

Well as a therapist my job will be extremely rewarding. After all, I genuinely want to help people with their mental health. I am not in it to make good money otherwise I’d do something else.

Let’s be clear: A plumber who owns a plumbing company may make that. The majority of plumbers don’t. They, on average, earn a good wage, but it’s less than 6 figures. A therapist with a practice makes, on average, $350k-$400k a year. A starting therapist working for that office makes about $150k - $200k a year.

Plumber caps at 200k. The potential for far more is done through thr college route.

There are a handful of plumbers who make this much and they run their own plumbing business Trade schools are valuable enough you don’t need to deceive people about it

Meanwhile, a therapist can work until they die. A plumber’s body is worn out by 35.

Therapists can definitely make more than $77k.
