Re: Fucking education! How does it work?
It's not that the trades are necessarily less-good than other lines of work -- it's that people who don't have a broader educational background do stupid shit like listening to Jenny McCarthy going on about vaccines, because they know all about how to build a house and jack shit about science and technology.
It is very, very, expensive to us as a society to have so many people who didn't learn stuff that wasn't directly part of their jobs. Fundamentally, your job is not your whole life. If you only learn what you need to know to do your job, that leaves you pretty dangerously ignorant.
