I suddenly understand why jewelry is expensive

Hopefully people will start to realize why trades in general are so expensive. You’re paying for someone’s experience to make a good finished product that takes skill and years of practice.

However there is also a giant gap that needs to be filled in trades. As people are aging out of jobs like tailors, carpenters, bookbinders, leatherworkers, etc, there aren’t enough young people going INTO the trades to repopulate the jobs.

Please. Please. Consider going into trades.

These are the kinds of jobs people “fall into,” because they aren’t visible, and are never talked about.

Kids never grow up telling people they want to be a bookbinder. They don’t know they even exist. And schools never ever present them as valid options. And if they do talk about them, they are treated as invalid compaired to NFL Linebacker, President, and Brain Surgeon. After all “jewelry maker” is something people do to supplement their “burger flipping” income, and not an extension of blacksmithing.

But that’s the crux of it, isn’t it? Crafting and trade skills are an extension of artistic skills, which are often seen as completely invalid, and a total waist of time.
