Quotation of the Day for April 30, 2015"So what advice should one give to a young person? By all means, go to college. In fact, approach college in the spirit of craftsmanship, going deep into liberal arts and sciences. In the summers, learn a manual trade. You're likely to be less damaged, and quite possibly better paid, as an independent tradesman than as a cubicle-dwelling tender of information systems. To heed such advice would require a certain contrarian streak, as it entails rejecting a life course mapped out by others as obligatory and inevitable." - Matthew B. Crawford in his essay Shop Class as Soulcraft. He later expanded the essay into a book, Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work. Submitted by: Terry Labach Apr. 29, 2015  |
