Eagle I agree!

Gem,
The key to woodworking - quality and marketing.
The amish who make furniture in our area are raking in the dough.
Super nice pieces they sell, for good money. And have their stores on main roads and lots of billboards 😉

Nah. You can make a pretty penny if you make furniture

As I said, takes all sorts to make the world go round.
But, blue collar does not equal broken down bodies all the time either. Just putting out the other side of seeing things

@buckeye

Thanks. :D And yes, trades are needed to make the world go around. I've thought of getting into one, but I dunno what. I like the idea of woodworking, but that's kinda fallen out of favor.

The amusing thing is that I never said anything negative about trades folk lol

My step son is a diesel mechanic. Not much cost to his education, worked in field only about 5 yrs, became field manager, no more hard work on his body, current salary is 250k per year.
Pretty good for a blue collar tradesman, no?

I'd prefer the debt over tearing up my body more than it already is. Too many minor injuries came back to bite me in the ass a few years later.

That is awesome Gem.
And you too Eagle.

Need more folks out there doing trades. The good news is, good pay and not so much student debt going into life on their own.
It takes all kinds to make the world go round.

Lots of non college folks are doing very well, and are well educated despite the choice to not go to college.

@eagle

To make a ton of month, you either have to use your brains or muscles a lot. ;P Both need a decent amount of knowledge too. :D

But he'll eventually pay for it in the form of damage to his body. I come from blue collar and I saw the damage that hard physical labor caused

When I went into business for myself, I owned nothing more than clothes, my one horse and a dog at the time.
My truck wasnÂ’t even mine, it belonged to my parents.
I leased the barn/land and leased a separate place to live.
Did other side jobs along the way as needed - yes, working for others at times, at night , to pay the bills. Eventually was able to rely only upon my own income.
Was tough.
But made it - and proud of what I did and what I have.
