Interested in becoming a carpenter.

So I’m 35 and have been work in film/tv for the past 7 years and with the way the industry has been in the past few years I have no choice but to adapt and switch careers. I have some wood working experience but really would love to learn as much as I can and work hard for a framer or any aspect of carpentry .

That being said does anyone have any suggestions to where to start. Do I try to get in with a union / or go to a contractor . Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated appreciated .

Also tell me to not do it if you hate it haha
