What is a Boat Carpenter Mechanic?

These are the people you run to when what your dad said would fix the light that came on in your car didn't actually work. There's a reason they're called mechanics.

Mechanics get down and dirty when it comes to repairing, inspecting and maintaining cars. While they generally work in well-ventilated repair shops, they usually come home with at least a little grease on their hands.

They don't just let anybody become a mechanic (we're looking at you, dad). Most mechanics complete a program at a postsecondary institution and become industry certified before they're qualified to work on your car. That way you know your car is literally in good hands.

How much wood would a carpenter.. Wait, that's not how that goes. Speaking of carpenter's though, they do cut a lot of wood. That's how they're able to construct, repair and install building frameworks.

With only a high school diploma, you could be making an average of $48,330 a year by becoming a carpenter. The range of projects they work on range from installing kitchen cabinets to building highways and bridges.

You've probably already figured out that the main part of an installer's job is to install things. That might be installing electronic equipment or maybe it's installing furniture. Whatever direction you decide to take this career, just know that you have some variety to what you actually want to become.

Construction. Furniture. Equipment. Electrical. Cabinet. The list goes on and on. There are so many things out there that need to be installed. So figure out what you're most passionate about and start installing it. Maybe you'll drive to a client's site to install it or maybe you'll meet up with a client at your place of business to discuss a project. Later on in the day, you might need to check up on some equipment that you installed previously to make sure everything is running right. Either way, every day brings something new. You never know what you'll be doing.

It's important to note that installers don't just install something and then walk away. They're in charge of following the project all the way through. That includes doing some prep work and then cleaning up once the item has been installed. You're also going to have to talk with clients to figure out what exactly they need/want installed. Communication is a big must-have here.
