Men or women, regardless of background SHOULD learn a trade.
These reasons are why:
-There is a sense of pride in building something. You see what you’ve accomplished immediately.
-It’s a transferrable skill no matter where you live.
-It pays better than your teacher told you it does. In fact, it likely pays more than they get paid.
-Your career isn’t as subject to the effects of economic downturn. I didn’t lose one day of work to ‘rona.
-You can still eat whatever you want even after your metabolism slows down.
-No debt. In most cases you get paid to work while learning.
-You sleep like a rock!
-Your degree in music theory or philosophy or underwater basket weaving from Appalachian State won’t help you build a cabin and survive, should you choose to run off and live in the woods.
I was not fortunate enough to move to the woods with a pile of cash that would allow me to split forewood and talk to squirrels all day. I do have to make SOME money. Within a week of being here I was blessed with the opportunity to work for a great company (literally DIDN’T EVEN APPLY, neighbor gave my number to the guy who built his barn. Guy called me and said when can you start). I basically set my own schedule. I’m not bound to a desk, a cell phone, and an anchor of stress. Now of you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go eat some ibuprofen. God Bless y’all!
Hope y’all take the time to check out my other projects! I love you guys, God Bless!
