Trades & Education - They Don't Belong Together!

They don't?

Oh wait...yes they do.


I'm of an opposite opinion - I believe they do - but the majority of society does not believe this thought holds water. And yet, it is obvious that trades and education belong in the same arena, for multiple reasons. The most important of which we can see in the workings of any country - tradespeople are the foundation (literally) that any country has been, or will be, built upon, in the most literal sense of the word.


 The stigma around trades is lessening, but it's not yet disappeared completely.

The first thing we want to ask ourselves is "Why?"

 Why does this stigma around working in the trades exist? Why does this divide between standard white-collar workers and traditional blue-collar workers still present itself? Why are those who do somehow less than those who don't?

The second thing we want to ask ourselves is "What?"


What is it about someone getting their hands dirty that causes the general population to place them in a lower caste? What is it about physical labor that creates a mentality of superiority in those that do not do physical labor in exchange for a paycheck?


I lucked out this week - I found a tradesman with over 20 years experience willing to speak with me regarding these matters. He presented some thought-provoking answers to my questions, a few interesting insights into what it's like making a living as a tradesman, and provided some solid solutions to these sorts of problems and challenges for today's modern-day world.
