thats true if you like working. I know carpenters with their crews in the west makin piles of money...but they're puttin up 7 houses a week.... It all depends on how hard you wanna work. | |

| its all part of the boom. Once the oil fields and sands and natural gas is all tapped into, this boom will disappear...Remember, this whole boom already took place in the 70's | |

| They need more trades people now then ever. Thats why my old man sponsors some of the NSCC programs in Carpentry and other trades. There is big demand for sure.Especially if you can get your papers. Being a foreman for a construction company can earn big bucks at some points. All depends on the economy too. We definitely notice here at the store when the economy is hurting. More extra cash people got, the more construction companies are going to be busy which equals higher wages. But allot of contractors have been saying there having a hell of a year this year.Which is good  Saulnier's Home Hardware FTW !!  | |
