College Student considering an Apprenticeship in Carpentry
Hi all,
Lately I've been having doubts about where I am in college. I was in the boy scouts when I was younger and woodworking was one of my favorite activities. To be honest, I've frequently thought about dropping out to become a Carpenter. The only thing I worry about is my back. I injured my spine a couple of years ago doing martial arts (one of my vertebra is displaced 5mm), and given the physical nature of carpentry, do you think it would be prudent for me to enter into this profession? I'd ideally like to do rough carpentry. Any thoughts and anecdotal experience would be much appreciated.
