Proficiency

If Joe claims to be a good carpenter, then wouldn’t you assume that he would be proficient with more than just a box-end wrench? Come on, Joe. Who are you fooling? We all know that a carpenter is handy with a number of tools, not just the wrench. Saws. Hammers. Drills. I mean, really.

I know you’re really proud of that shelf unit you built, but the cuts look… well… like you used a wrench to make them. If you want anyone to believe you’re a carpenter then your work better be more representative of what a carpenter does.

A proficient carpenter uses the right tool for the job. Until you add some other tools to your box and learn how to use them (and use them well), don’t call yourself a carpenter. I’m sorry, but nobody will jump to hire a carpenter that insists on doing everything with a wrench.

What say you?
