How did you obtain your general knowledge of construction?

"I obtained my general knowledge of construction from my older brother and my shop teacher. Growing up, my brother was always building things out of wood. In high school, he took a woodworking class and started selling furniture to make money. I would help him assemble the furniture, sand it, and stain it. When I was a little older, he showed me how to measure and cut the wood and run it through a planer. I was interested in woodworking and took shop classes in high school. Our final project was building a house for a local veteran, and that is how I became hooked on building houses."
