I am interested in tradesman in general, as I'd like to retrain but have no clue how to make the jump. What is your life like, how much do you work, do you decide your hours, can you spend time on your family/hobbies, how much do you make, how did you start out, are you satisfied?

Well i learned the trade from pa,started working during summers with him,and finally started doing it full-time at 18.There's plenty of work because there's no real carpenter's anymore.I work from 8 to 6 usually.It's really nice to see some raw wood (don't think it's the correct english term but fuck it) become a 70kg door.I love fucking around with wood even as a hobby,righ now i'm planning on doing a big ass ballista,or some weeb cockatsu or whatever it's called.I'm middle upper class if you need to know and most of the things i do are for rich people.I'm from Argentina that's going through really bad economic crisis but i live pretty well,my father once told me for advice "if you do your work well you will never starve,if you learn any trade properly you will always have a roof over your head" so take it as you wish.
