I can't find it, but this question got asked somewhere (Reddit maybe) about 8-10 years ago, and a plumber took the time to respond that many plumbers are actually very passionate about what they do. They don't specifically unclog toilets for fun, but there are plumbers that spend a lot of their free time on plumbing forums, and even some who have projects experimenting with different ways to install certain things.
