Sure you get paid a lot but I can't imagine fixing clogged toilets or fixing refrigerators everyday to be something that is very stimulating.
If I am wrong please correct me.

I enjoy my job but I don't work on the tools. I manage projects and I estimate. The only time I'm on site is for walk a rounds, meetings or if I need to look at something to price it. Like said above doing the dirty work isn't that fun but some people enjoy it and without those people projects wouldn't get complete so they have to be appreciated. There are other positions to move into that involve less or no physical work so you don't have to be stuck on tools forever mind you there are some people who never want to come off them.
I have a plumber friend who loves residential plumbing. He's good at it, he makes lots of money at it and enjoys his job.
