Hi im leaving school soon and i am wondering if carpentry is a good, well paying job. I enjoy doing things with wood and i have heard carpentry/joinery is good money. Is it good and would anyone be able to tell me the average pay for a fully qualified carpenter. Thanks

Yep, as far as I know they make a good load of cash, just need to find a good company or something to work for and you can be looking at 50k or more a year.

i used to be a joiner/carpenter years ago but after many more years getting messed around/fed up of rain (u have to work in most weather) not to mention the fetching/carrying & constant aches & pains (& u will get many!) i decided to call it a day. my mate still does it but im a trucker now & on twice as much as him (not to mention all cosy in my cab lol) im not trying to put u off tho. there was good times & at least u will have a skill behind you like i do (i still do little jobs 4 mates at the weekends etc) & when the sun (eventually) shines, theres nothing better than being on the roof or doing joist work. watch ur tools as well as there r some right thieving gits about! i had over 2k worth of stuff pinched once! good luck which ever career u take

An apprenticeship is schooling that a Union requires to reach the status of Journeyman. The schedule varies as does cost. Contact the Local.

I know an artisan who makes unique items from wood. If you have a good imagination and know how to appeal to people that pop into your store I'm positive you'll be be going Ho Ho Ho during the holiday season when you open your cash register.

There was once a carpenter, who had a son. His son earned good money, but ended up being hammered with tax.

i don't know the answer as to how much it pays, but what i do know is that if you do it as an artist and create art you can make a lot of money, you know like sculptures and figures.
good luck

Check with the carpenters union in your area for apprenticeships . . .
good $$ in anything comes from being highly skilled . Apprenticeship is where you learn it .

about the same as monopoly money presumably-if you are not as thick as 2 planks-good scope for tax evasion if you have a trade these days.
