but each person’s case is different, and I try to be fair.

Molly Swift – I do many kinds of carpentry. That way, I work all year. I build furniture, and
I also build houses. My work is sometimes difficult and dangerous. These days, a lot of things
are “ prefabricated”- already made. As a result, my job is easier, but there is less work.

Benjamin Morse – My jobs keeps me busy. I plan lessons, give tests, grade homework, talk to
parents, help with after-school activities- and of course, I teach! My salary isn’t great, but
that’s ok. My students are excited about learning, so I’m happy.
