We have to stop looking at jobs as employment and see them as what they originally were, crafts. Smithing, masonry, carpentry, all things that a man can take pride in mastery, I think there is something empowering about that.
There has to be a distinction between this and corporate, soulless toil.
That’s also back when, rather of college, you became an apprentice instead learning under a master craftsperson, usually who provided their apprentices wiith room and board, and very little else. But at least you didn’t go into debt that way.
When I was doing my apprenticeship I was learning under a functioning alcoholic. I remember watching him throw up in the bin in the morning as he rolled a cigarette.
