Being a carpenter? travel all over the word?

Tweet

I once met a Britain guy who travelled around the world.I asked what did he do for a living,I told me he was a carpenter.I was really surprised by his answer.I mean,how could a carpenter can afford the trip travelling all over the world?He told me they didn't have many carpenter in Britain,so carpenters were paid considerably well. My uncle has been a carpenter about 15 years,yeah about 15 year doing carpentry. Of five years just learning from the older guys. You show an interest and they show you the secrets they want to teach you and I learned. But there's long, hard hours with very low compensation.He and other carpenters wish the money is better. They put in long hard hours and it just doesn't seem like they're being compensated the way they need to be compensated. What is the situation in your country?Do you add add carpenter to the list of your dream jobs?
