Agree. That's one thing that keeps me coming back.There has been a lot of people writing about using the skills learned during their career when they volunteer. I like to think about the skills I’ve learned in my volunteer experiences. I joke that if the wheels fall off our retirement bus, I’ve got a few job skills that I didn’t have before.
I've learned a heck of a lot about carpentry from rough to fine cabinet making.
I've also seen what the ravages of moisture and termites can do to structures. Avoid both at all costs.
Oh, and as for "stealing" jobs. At least around here, the job shortage is so severe, there's nothing to steal. We need to get our young people working with their hands! And the one org I work with (the cabinet repair) actually interns young people from local high schools to just "give them a taste." Many kids don't have any role models for "hands work." So, we do our best to provide some.
