What are some of the duties of a residential, commercial, industrial painter?
I am interested in the painting trade because I like painting and the construction of houses. At one point I think I wanted to be a real estate agent but I noticed I wanted to do the hands on stuff. I know I'll probably have to get some more certifications. I want to be a jack of all trades because i'm good at a lot of things.#painting
