Opinion: Some in a blue-collar job are just one injury away from homelessness

I got into construction. I was a journeyman carpenter for 10 years. I got my training at Cal State Northridge, after the earthquake — started as an apprentice, but after two years, I was on top. We had to rebuild that whole place. Tore the library down and built it back up, from scratch. I felt bad for that school. The math did me in, though — all that drafting. It was like high school all over again. I thought, “If you’re not going to help me, I’ll just leave.”
