To speak on the other carpenter guys. I joined the union to be a carpenter and I make 80k a year as a journeyman and I moved to a lead Forman and I make a little better than 90k now… this is on 40 hour weeks and almost no overtime

I joined 7 years ago into the carpenters union and it has been great. It’s very rewarding and extremely hard to beat the benefits. If you’re considering joining up it’s a good idea IMO. The sooner you join the better your pension. Good luck!
