My uncle is a butcher and cuts meat at work
he slaughters animals?
He cuts the meat into cooking sized portions
thats cool.. i like seeing them prepare standard cuts of meta and poultry  
Yes being a butcher is a decent paying job with benefits
yea now you see them everywhere.. supermarkets, grocery stores and shop and fish markets now
Takes a little skill to know how to make certain cuts
yes ive even seen where some areas have butchers do a three year apprenticeship before becoming a master butcher!
