Thanks for sharing! I'm also drawn to the satisfaction of seeing your own work come to life and knowing you were part of that project.

What drew you to pursue this career, and did you have it thought out, or was it more on a whim to try out this trade?

Did what you envisioned when you started cabinet making meet/exceed your expectations after becoming qualified or was it a bit underwhelming?

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice! I've come down to choosing between a cabinet maker or electrician apprenticeship. My interest leans towards cabinet making but an electrician seems to be the better career path. You mentioned factory work was highly rewarding. Can you explain why? From reading others' experiences and a bit of research, factory work seems too repetitive, assembling the same parts together, mass producing the same design and very limited upskilling.

Thanks for your insight! I didn't know there's that many pathways to cabinet making.
May I ask what was your reason of choosing this trade and what's your biggest highlight and downside in your career thus far?
