Two ways in: pay for school (273 U.S. schools offer Carpenters programs at certificate/associate level, median net price $8,400/yr) or get paid to train (730 registered apprenticeship programs in the federal database). No state license in most states; UBC union apprenticeships pay while training; school is optional for entry.
Working carpentry professionals earn a median of $59,370/yr nationally — state medians range from $46,910 (Oklahoma) to $85,280 (Hawaii). Wage data: U.S. Dept of Labor via CareerOneStop.
