In this episode of The Jared Williams Show, Jared talks with David Reap, a journeyman plumber who started his career by chance after a simple job offer at age 18. David shares his journey from working retail in New York to commuting three hours daily for plumbing work in Connecticut while completing his apprenticeship. He discusses the challenges of licensing in Connecticut, the strict requirements for obtaining a journeyman and master plumber license, and the differences in regulations between states like Connecticut and Alaska. Despite the tough commute and demanding training, David's persistence paid off as he eventually secured stable, local work and continued to advance in the trade.
