I’d seen his book and it’s on my amazon wish list. I had thought The Craftsman would be an equivalent replacement, but that was a brilliant essay. I’ll check the book out one of these days, thanks Glenn.

Have you read Matthew Crawford’s ‘Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work’? Your comments on ‘The Craftsmen’ remind me, to a point, of his book.

An essay based on his work was published back over the summer – http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/magazine/24labor-t.html.

Hope you enjoy

I just think it’s amazing. To have all the cash you could ever want at your disposal, and you’re still making decisions on base emotions.

Belief that getting rich will somehow solve all your problems is wrong. You will not be able to avoid wasteful and irresponsible behavior unless you practice good decision making while on the road there.

Comment on Your undergraduate business degree will burn your career into the ground by rnurss

Dead on. I’ve come to realize the same thing over the last year. For some reason this post reminded me of the movie 21; where the kid is getting interviewed for a big time scholarship, and the interviewer tells him his resume (high gpa, recommendations from prof..etc) is identical to everyone else….and asks him what makes him different. Then he tells his story.

I’ve noticed people take a liking to stories about experiences that are not the norm…. it intrigues and attracts them to you. A piece of paper outlining shit you have done doesn’t blow em away. You cant tell a story of how you studied 20 hours a week or mastered a textbook. You can with real life experiences outside the classroom.

God, it is funny to come back to things like this and really understand them. It’s like I didn’t even read this before.
