read more about their requirement and course outlines, also check with counselor and check library for books on colleges,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Fungyi</i>: How can an entry-level Call-Center young-guy get into the Carpentry trade/building houses in BC?</strong><br />
This question is also somewhat an emotional outpouring reflecting the confusion and predicaments that I&#8217;m experiencing in my life recently, so I do apologize if I may be off-topic/verbose/and not making sense.</p>
<p>I am a 24-yr old university drop-out (2 years of university, took Architecture courses) who have had a few Calling Center experiences, the biggest employer so far being TELUS.  Consequently, it seems only Calling Center employers would hire me for the wage I am expecting (~$  12/hr).  But then again, maybe I am just afraid to try other industries&#8230;it distresses me already just ~thinking~ about the possibilities of bothers and fears of putting myself out there in job markets other than call center, expecting every field to tell me &#8220;you&#8217;re no good at it; work for $  8.00/hr instead&#8221;.    I don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;m such a wimp; I apologize for being such a wimp.  In fact I apologize for just being.  The real problem with me is that I am basically born an artist&#8230;  In addition to having sold a lot of pieces, I just love it.  But you can&#8217;t get a job as an artist&#8230; On top of that, I&#8217;m actually just not good with people.  In every call center job I was in, I had received awards because I&#8217;m smart (i was good in school&#8230;which employers usually don&#8217;t care about&#8230;but my being smart did help actually), but really, at the end of the day, I am sooo not suitable for it.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m really good with my hands, and have done a little carpentry, and I guess my question is, how do you steer yourself away from a career path you KNOW is suicidal, and strive&#8211;without a college degree&#8211;to get into a field you have ZERO credentials/prior experience for?  In other words, how do you start over?  I can borrow money from my very generous parents, enough to support my living until I finish ~some~ kind of school (vocational school for carpentry maybe?).  But what then? Wouldn&#8217;t I be just where I was at before? A lot of my grad friends aren&#8217;t doing anything with their degrees.  I&#8217;ve been freelancing for 6 years now (a la &#8220;use day job to fund night job&#8221;) for something as uselss as Fine Art which gets no money.  Should I just do another 6 years of just gritting my teeth through my day job and ~wish~ my art will be promoted some day?  Should I ditch art altogether as a career and just focus on something which I like which *DOES* pay the bills (e.g. carpentry).  I would REALLY like to build houses (framing) for a living&#8230;that is my daydream.  The first time I&#8217;ve done carpentry it, it was apparent to my supervisor that i was good at it, and that I LOVE it.  But I am really confused (sorry)&#8230;while I know it&#8217;s totally do-able, it just feels so impossible&#8230;getting into something totally brand new with no qualifications&#8230;but somthing you&#8217;re actually good at, something you were actually made for.  Thank you so very much for reading.</p>
<p>p.s. I specialize in pencil portrait drawing, wood carving, and antique restoration i.e. Japanese Swords.  I cannot use my prior carpentry experience on my resume, because that was in prison</p>

<p><i>Answer by homerunhitter</i><br/>Man you are sooo down on yourself. Work on how you feel about who you are. By the way, construction jobs are loaded with ex-cons. Just do not bring drugs to the job site&#8230;if your beef was drug related. Like all of us, bill paying comes first. But, don&#8217;t give up on art. Construcion trades hiring is down pretty much everywhere. But, framers can make significantly more than call center workers.  I guess you&#8217;ll just have to wait till the economy &#8216;picks up.&#8217;</p>
