    Honestly, I spent most of my 20s as a cabinetmaker, I even had a shop of my own and just keeping the lights on, charging for materials and gas will run a basic piece of furniture into the thousands. That’s without making a salary at all. Nothing is cheap anymore and we can’t expect people to work for free. That among many other reasons is why I’m working in a different field now.
