Ryan Pinkerton agrees . He worked his way up from apprentice plumber to director of the company ’ s Western housing market . “ I knew I didn ’ t want to attend college . I wanted to learn a trade because I like doing hands-on work ,” he says . “ Some people are surprised when I say I ’ m a plumber . They think it ’ s about fixing toilets all day . But it ’ s really about building new homes and being part of historic projects .”
