Build your future

There are so many hands-on jobs in construction that most people--including me--never heard about in school. The "Craft Professions" section on this website has a great overview.
Yet these days, in the world of desks and cubicles, in school nobody tells you any professional uses for using your hands and for moving, doing, and touching i.e. kinesthetic and tactile jobs and we could add "coordination" jobs. These talents are channeled into arts and sports and crafts which, in school, are often considered frills or entertainment.
One of the goals of this site Build Your Future is to help dispel that illusion. All of the jobs on it require the same type of talents and sports, arts, and crafts along with many other types of intelligence. The options are much broader than many people realize.
As noted in a previous post, studies often mislead people into believing that hands-on jobs pay less than jobs requiring college degrees because the studies lump low-skill hands-on jobs like flipping burgers in with high-skill jobs like maintaining wind turbines or installing solar panels.
