When it comes to the doors that adult education opens up, the possibilities are endless. And as an institution that's been going strong since 1940, Berk Trade and Business School is at the top of the corridor!

Plumbing is one of the most lucrative technical careers out there—and, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal, it's a field that's more than ready to be balanced out by women. As per a study carried out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 9.8 million people were working in the construction industry, as of 2014; but only 9% of them (out of 872,000) were female. And in the plumbing trade, in particular, the gender disparity—at 1.11%—was even lower.

Since the Bureau estimates that the demand for plumbers will grow to 21% by 2022, it's safe to say that plumbing in an industry that's on the rise. And the money is fantastic, too—according to 2012 labor findings, plumbers earn about $49,000 a year nationally, and in huge markets like New York, that average rises to about $70,000, which is no small change.

The potential for large change, though, is there: for women, plumbing is a profession that's ready to be taken by storm. As an institution that's backed by the New York State Education Department and accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), Berk Trade and Business School is the ideal place to start training for it.
