It's interesting, not surprising, how this relates to the previous e-mail's
content in that the apparent, or not so apparent depending on you
perspective, chasm betwixt the trades and the professionals has in many ways
to do with how we get there now versus how we got there then.
It's hard for me to find peers in the trades side of my social complex that
came to their work by inheritance. Rather we seem to have gone adrift at
some point and gravitated to it. Clearly from that perspective someone who
came to it through academic rigor must somehow be different...or better...or
something.
I'm happy being who I am and being part of this revolution since the last
one seems to be lost on the new generation.
