and would probably earn more money at it too .. plumbing in england is big money.. (any building skillz are) in the right place a plumber has been known to earn up to 150k a year.. qualified tradesmen earn £150 - £200 a day (which equates to about £53,000 - 65,000 ish per year) unless a pop singer writes ALL their own songs they dont get near that.

for example.. Billie (yes i know she sucked) had some 2 or 3 uk number ones and sold a fair few albums and at the end of it all she was worth £50k which is pennies.. ok she has married a very rich old man and never needs to sing again. and ok you need to work hard graft to earn that money as a plumber or any other trades man. annnnnd ok you dont get free entry into clubs and A/B list celebrity bashes etc.. but you earn more money in the long run
