Hey there, Kyree!
Stepping into the role of a Carpentry Manager is quite a journey, given the wealth of experience and understanding needed in both carpentry and leadership. You'll be at the helm of construction projects, leading teams, making sure everyone's playing it safe, and liaising with clients and suppliers.
Before you can take the leap into management, you'll usually need to cut your teeth as a carpenter. This means mastering carpentry skills through apprenticeships, vocational training, or learning on the job. As you grow in your career, you can start honing your leadership skills through further education or training programs.
For those new to the field, the mix of hands-on carpentry skills and managerial duties can make becoming a Carpentry Manager a bit of a challenge. But with a good dose of commitment, a love for learning, and hands-on experience, you can definitely make it.
While you don't necessarily need a specific degree to become a Carpentry Manager, having a degree in construction management or a similar field can be a big plus. It'll equip you with valuable know-how in project management, budgeting, scheduling, and construction methods. Plus, certifications in carpentry or construction management can give your resume a nice boost and improve your chances of moving up to a managerial role.
Here are the top 3 go-to resources for authoritative information:
1. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
2. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)
3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Wishing you all the best in your career journey!

Hi Kyree,
Solid question; but I would change it to is being a carpentry manager worth my time? There are a few things to consider when thinking through working towards this career, and you are asking great questions. The only thing I am saying is make sure to approach your goal/dream with confidence as 'time consuming' can be viewed differently by thinking of how else would I be spending my time for what I want? With the end goal being to manage and/or run a carpentry installation and/or group of carpenters; you would need to possess skills/requirements/experience in the field. You would also need to understand business and how it is completed perhaps in your area.
As a result, you would most likely need experience as a carpenter, and a business management degree of some sort. On your end, I would consider working as a carpenter and how you like what you do for the pay? I would also think through what else you could be doing to make the money you want for a said lifestyle. As a result, I would spend time working as a carpenter, talking with people in the carpentry/construction industry, and talking with teachers/counselors about the academic requirements as well as how your skills/achievement can be best put to use. Career & Vocational schools often offer great opportunity for such development while also being able to supply the credits you meet to attending college. I hope this helps!

Kyree,
Clint just about said it all. You need experience learning the trade 1st, then once you can understand it and be able to see it done before it is (visually in your head), then you can give directions. Just like you needed to learn to crawl before walking etc.
I hope this helps!
