28.  What if I get tired of "working with the tools"?  Are there career options?

Absolutely. Once one has completed an apprenticeship program and gained some experience as a journeyman, there are many career options available.  Some journeymen go on to become:  Detailers, estimators, project managers, superintendents, engineers or contractors.  Many of today's building contractors gained their knowledge, expertise and experience through apprenticeship and on-the-job training in the building construction industry!
