I worked in a print shop running a two-color press printing software documentation. But when the dot-coms went bust, the print shop closed down. A friend of mine installed carpet and told me they were always busy and to come on down. I like the construction trades. You work with your hands and get dirty. There’s so much to learn. From my experience in printing I can see the colors in the carpet, the difference in different die lots, and how that will affect the design. In printing if the color is off a just a little, it might as well be off a million. You learn to see minute details and differences in brightness. With carpets we have to work off blueprints. In printing you deal with lining things up to the 1/1000ths of an inch, so I’m used to detail work. That background helps. Someone else might not be used to that precision.
