Can architects do freelancing?

While some experienced carpenters, particularly those with several years of journeyman-level experience working in specialized residential or commercial projects, can earn close to or exceeding $100,000 annually, this is not the typical salary for all carpenters. Most carpenters earn between $80,000 and $100,000 per year, depending on factors such as geographic location, level of expertise, type of employment (union vs. non-union), and the complexity of the projects they undertake. Achieving a six-figure income generally requires extensive experience, advanced skills, and often working in high-demand or high-paying markets. Therefore, while it is possible for some carpenters to make $100,000 or more annually, it is not the standard across the profession.
