15. Building Furniture is a Way of Life
Since vocational training begins at an early age, most Amish children have learned a trade before reaching adulthood. As such, this particular trade is not so much a job as it is a way of life. This concept is especially true in woodworking and building furniture. Amish furniture is renowned worldwide for its high quality. Furniture, as well as quilts and baked goods, often serve as the main source of external income for Amish communities.
