An airline pilot also has a lot of responsibility but many still earn less that a basic plumber!
And some who claim to be one of the top 100 engineers in the country would not even be in the top couple of thousand at bg so would never meet expectations
By site plumbers do you mean gas safe registered plumbers on site or just normal plumbers on 1k a week?Far too many course Cowboys & career change chancers in the gas industry. At one time a RGI could earn twice as much doing C/H installs as a site Plumber. Not any more, the money for heat installs is rubbish & site Plumbers are making £1K/week.
Doing 6 rads & a combi in a day is cr.p money now.
As for boiler repair, maintenance & service work, it's good money but you do need to be highly skilled & very experienced.
I've done all sorts & the best money I've ever made was on bulk LPG work.
