Now that is weird. Yesterday I thought the same thing, that the durable jobs are those that a child can understand: grocer, teacher, police officer, firefighter, plumber, and so on. And I was thinking specifically about Richard Scarry books.
Me too! Seriously just yesterday I was thinking it would be valuable to study the NEC electrical code with my kids. I may be wrong but seems like electricians fall into the same category. As a side note: I have a house going through final trade inspections now and an issue came up where I literally turned to stack exchange to educate myself on the issue prior to going back to my electrician to insist he back off from his stance that he’s right and the inspectors wrong (not that this is a sustainable position in the first place).. but it was interesting how the stack exchange culture has gone beyond developers.

I don’t know how many grocers you have left in your village, but where I live they’ve basically gone extinct and those that are left look to be pretty poor and precarious, made irrelevant decades ago by supermarkets.
