Many master plumbers send out employees who are not master card holders and still charge the same rate. In locations that do not require an employee to have any type of license ( NYC for example) a Master plumber can hire over 500 employees and charge any rate they want.
It is not uncommon for the franchises to say "we are sending a technician" out as they are trying to get over licensing laws and are able to charge master plumbers rates for non licensed /non skilled help
Generally About 2 years for journeyman and 2 more after that for master liscense.

I cannot speak for all the other master plumbers but I charge normally $2,000 - $3,000 per day for my services for 7 hrs
One master plumber with decent skills can easily make over $275,000.
A skilled journeyman I normally start off @$50 per billable hr
Not enough!! Journeyman make anywhere between 18 and 30 an hour depending on where you live
This depends on what material the plumber uses, what fittings the plumber uses, how much piping will be used and how long the plumber will take.
The average hourly rate for a plumber is $18.19, although it can vary anywhere from $10.00-$30.00/hr. Apprentices normally start at 50% of a journeyman's wage, with a 5% increase every 6 months until a pay rate of 95% is reached. On any given job, there is usually a journeyman plumber working with one or two apprentices.
