when i was your age i was cutting rafters, laying out walls ect.... i asked a ton of questions, and learned a bunch by age 18 i was running my own frame crews. moral of the story is construction is HARD work, if this is something your intrested in learn as much as you can by asking questions and not being afraid to do all the jobs required for your trade . the most important thing you will learn (if yer smart) is you dont like how yer back feels after being on that roof all day so learn the trade in and out so you arnt the one that has to be on the roof every day it will "your" guys on that roof while you are out getting more business.
