1. practice your math, practice your math, and practice your math.
2. problem solving, such as alternate piping path ways and deviations from drawings.
3. work ethic; such as working the overtime, being on time, etc.

Tips? Always do quality and not quantity. Yes, plumbers get paid for getting the job done, but in a contract situation most of the time there is a provision for unsatisfactory quality and they can make you rip it out and redo it if they don't like the way it looks. Also if you decide to start your own company it will be easier to get contracts if the owner/GC knows you do good work.
