And earn significantly less money, which was sort of the point.

I know what you mean. I am just simply a bit annoyed that there are so 
much jobs that earn more than a real craftsman. In general I lament the 
loss of skills that is going on here right now. Which makes me sad. At 
the same time having to witness some very skilled craftsmen that really 
know their materials to get laid off or pestered into a desk job makes 
me angry. Add to that that the persons that did it made more money, 
didn't know anything about what these craftsmen were doing and simply 
decided that anything they made could be bought on the internet. Then 
you know why I will make some unflattering remarks about some people for 
the coming years.
