Wow, Yang Chen, I had not idea that you love carpentry so much.I guess we'll have to add that to list of your dream jobs.Let's see.What do we have so far?Fighter pilot, politician and now carpenter.
Sounds good.Let's get started.Hey, you guys!Turn those tools off back there! We're trying to talk!Yeah, yeah... All right, John is co-owner of a construction company and he and his partner Tony have worked together for about ten years.Here's John.
Yeah, we do custom carpentry.
John, how long have been doing carpentry?
Probably about 15 years. Yeah, about 15 year doing carpentry.Ten years with Tony about five years just, you know, learning from the older guys.You show an interest and they show you the secrets they want to teach you and I learned.My dad was a carpenter too.
It's a natural choice.But I have a feeling, Yang Chen, it's not an easy job.John said there's long, hard hours with very low compensation.
You know, compensation.Money!Moulah!Ka-ching!
We wish the money was better.We put in long hard hours and it just doesn't seem like we're being compensated the way we need to be compensated.
You heard it from John - long, hard hours and low pay.You know, that just doesn't sound like a Yang Chen type of job.
No, no, no, no. There are personal rewards with work as well.Again, here'sa personal reward John gets from building a friend's deck.
