There are about 1.2 million carpentry jobs in 2002. Most of them are contractors who build or repair buildings. Other carpenters work for manufacturing firms, government agencies, retail stores, and schools. About 30 percent of carpenters are self-employed.

There are different types of carpenters. Knowing each type or occupation description may help future carpenters to decide on what field to specialize. The following are the different types of carpentry jobs:

As early as high school, carpentry is already being taught in school trough courses like carpentry, shop, drawing and math.

Apprenticeships combine on the job training and classroom work. Applicants for an apprenticeship are required to be at least 18 years old and pass an exam to see if they have the skills to become a carpenter. The length of the program is usually 3 to 4 years. Starting carpenters learn under the supervision of more experienced practitioners.
