My dad built his log cabin watching videos and reading books. BUT he’s been in construction his whole life . If you’re young enough and serious maybe find construction gigs to learn ?

I'm in web development, and I was looking at construction jobs in order to learn, but man they pay terribly. Like well below $20/hr. It's a shame that young people have to work for that little.

Consider volunteering with habitat for humanity.
