One of these things is not like the others.

I respect anybody working a job, especially since ther work environments are almost always worse than mine. However, their qualifications don’t concern me too much. I assume they get the necessary training.

But a bricklayer building my house or office? I think that’s a skilled trade where I want to know more about their experience.

The masons try to keep a low profile even promoting themselves as unskilled because they are the secret power behind the country.
