Been away for a while! Over at Mike Rowe's site, lots of interesting discussion at times, including this link about a book about trades' work as compared to the college path. I'm passing it on from the MRW site.

I'm glad Matthew B. Crawford's book is getting attention, it's another step towards respect for trades. Not that tradespeople merit adulation, just respect.

I'll try to keep up to date~
