Your pay can also be impacted if you are part of a union. Both my dad and brother were in construction unions and found the pay to be better with better benefits, but that is not always the case. Keep in mind that construction can have seasonal impacts. So even if the pay looks appealing make sure you put some money on the side for when weather or other things impact the ability to work.
Here is a good place to learn some of the basics about unions so you can be informed and make your own decision.

Hi Logan:
A Construction Carpenter will most likely earn wages that can range from $31,200 to $87,410 based on experience and domain knowledge. They can earn an average compensation of $54,200 annually.
A Construction Carpenter is similar to a basic carpenter, but they specialize in on-site construction work. Some of the main duties of construction carpenters include constructing, erecting and repairing structures of plywood and wallboard using hand and power tools. Construction carpenters' jobs are strenuous as their work conditions are usually unsafe. This makes them more prone to injury than those with other careers. Construction carpenters often learn their trade from a formal apprenticeship program, but some vocational schools offer a degree program in carpentry. There are others still who learn their skills informally on the job after they are hired.
Best of luck to you!
