A carpenter (at least in the UK) is going to be expected to be able to replace or repair joists, sash or bay windows, lats and other roofing and wall structures. Indoors or out.

It’s a big assumption that you can rely on power/bench tools. At some point you’re going to have to get the chisels, plane etc out.

lol what.

No.

I work in tech. But (long story) started with a few years of carpentry/joinery. It is not easy on the body, unless you’re just making small boxes or cabinets. And even then, it’s still not really that easy.
