Question 3

Im worried... I need advice Hi everyone, so I’m a carpenter as you may tell by the title. To be honest I’m a bit worried because I don’t know if my job has any future… It’s a very old school job and I feel people are ignoring this career. I’m in my thirties so I’m still pretty young, should I change now? Or should I stick to what I love and be a carpenter for the rest of my life? I know it sounds dramatic but when you are working in your dream job it’s scary to think you have no future in your profession.
