Career advice
Hi! I'm (27M) I'm trying to understand how to get into the trades to make enough to live.
I screwed up and rested on the advice of "life takes time you'll get there eventually" Newsflash to myself today, it doesn't. I need to make it happen.
I really want to become a carpenter. I work really well with wood, I've built a ton of sets for theater (I know it's not the same thing) and I have really good spacial reasoning skills. How do I get into contacting or construction? I have a really strong work ethic and I'm efficient as hell but I just have no idea where to start. Indeed and other sites like that are bullshit and I don't want to waste my time applying to companies that need someone with the experience already.
My question is: where do I start? Does anyone have any advice on school programs? Trade programs? How to find an apprenticeship or job that will train me? I don't want to make a million bucks or anything. I just want to be able to make enough to afford my own place to live.
