Are you a craftsman or specialist?

摘要

Here are two definitions to become familiar with: Craftsman - [Noun] (2); somebody who does something with great skill and expertise. Specialist - [Noun] (1); somebody who specializes in an occupation, interest or field of study. Recently, reading through some trade publications, I came across a couple of articles that had to do with the labor force in the trades written by two people with diametrically opposed approaches and viewpoints on the matter. They got me thinking about how the practice and training in our trade has evolved in relation to how the business end of the trade has evolved.
