Apprenticeship and journeyman wages vary based on the trade you pursue after the program, but are strong and generally come with strong benefits including full medical and pensions. One example of the plumbers and pipe-fitters apprenticeship starts at $22/hr for a first-year apprentice, along with a $6/hr benefits package, and after the 4th year on the job, the total hourly wage including benefits is approximately $78/hr.
