Getting your foot in the door with this career isn't all that difficult, but the process will be much easier if you can build the door yourself (hey-oh). Woodworkers who take the time to develop their skills early on through classes or training programs can have a head start on the competition and increase their earning potential.

Those who come into the field with little to no experience will likely need to start in the most entry-level positions, working alongside skilled woodworkers to develop their skills. Woodworker apprentices usually gain proficiency after about three years of on-the-job training (source).

With that under your toolbelt, breaking in will be easy.
