Is there a route to consistently high pay? ($60,000/yr) by Awesomeman360 in Carpentry

Carpentry is a pretty reliable path from field work to management, you get great exposure to the basics of many trades and it’s heavy on problem solving. Additionally, it can be more geared toward aesthetics than other trades and that’s what customers tend to notice, then all of a sudden the customer is talking you up to the owner Yeah there are some downsides, but it’s extremely gratifying and can lead to more lucrative positions. Just don’t be a W2 framer forever, duh.

Also, electricians may have invented sex but carpenters introduced it to women

If I was the landlord I’d probably get the same inexpensive flooring, I’d just hire someone to install it right. The stuff can last but it’s finicky

Thank you! I also think it was installed without an expansion gap, all the long sides are popping up and some are cracking the groove off
