EN<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nFor better or for worse, what we do for a living often defines us. It\u2019s one of the first questions we ask people when we meet them for the first time. It\u2019s where we will end up spending 90,000 hours of our life, over the course of 40-some years. Unfortunately, most people count themselves as unhappy with their work.<\/span>
\nFor modern high school students, the default path is graduating from high school, going on to a four-year college, and then finding work in an office. But college simply isn\u2019t for everyone. And neither is a lifetime of sitting at a desk. Luckily, there\u2019s a world of satisfying, good paying jobs beyond the cubicle wall (or the open space office \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore the myths that have made the path of blue collar work something most young men don\u2019t even contemplate taking.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 4 Myths of Skilled Labor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Welders, plumbers, electricians, machinists \u2014 they\u2019re in higher demand now, and have greater benefits, than they ever have. While the world endures record unemployment for young people, there are literally thousands upon thousands of trades jobs available (very good jobs, mind you) that go untaken because there aren\u2019t skilled laborers to take them. This means there are good jobs available, but no talent to fill them.<\/span><\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t always the case, though. A century ago, the workforce looked much different. In 1900, 38% of all workers were farmers, with another 31% in other trades such as mining, manufacturing, construction, etc. Only about 30% of the workforce labored in service industries (defined as providing intangible goods). Fast forward 100 years, and you see almost the exact reverse, over 75% of the labor pool working in the service industry (most often in an office), and farming seeing a precipitous decline to a mere 3%, and other trades down to 19%.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the number of laborers in the skilled trades has sharply declined, there\u2019s still a great need for this type of work. There is good work and good money to be had in the trades, so why aren\u2019t more young people picking up their hard hats? The answer\u2026 Stereotypes<\/strong>.<\/span>
\nThere are a number of myths that folks hold about skilled trades careers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #1: Blue-collar work is \u201cbeneath\u201d white-collar work.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since ancient times, manual labor has been looked upon as a job for slaves; for the lesser. It was hard, and as our human tendency is to seek comfort where we can, it was a mark of status to be above it. <\/span>During the industrialization period at the turn of the 20th<\/sup> century, manual labor lost some of its stigma. It was where the economy was going, it was where most of the jobs were. As learning a trade was a definite step up, skilled craftsmen gained a greater measure of respect. <\/span>Decades later, the 4-year education trend gained steam, teachers and parents began to play more of an advisory role towards students, helping them decide where to go, which colleges they could get into. Learning a trade became thought of as the career track for those who couldn\u2019t hack it in college, and no young man wanted to think of himself as second-rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The increasing number of college graduates coincided with an economy that was shifting from manufacturing and agriculture to a more intellectual and service-oriented market. Thus, it began to be cultural dogma that if a young person wanted a good, respectable, well-paying job, the only option was to go to college. Trades, on the other hand, often require less schooling (by about half, in most cases, but sometimes as little as a third or quarter as much), and so this career path became associated with lesser prospects for success. <\/span>But what defines \u2018better\u2019 anyway, in terms of a career? In the past, the difference between wages and quality of life was great enough that being a businessman really was a better job. But today, trades jobs have in many cases become equal or better paying and more stable than most office jobs. Those gaps are simply no longer present based on how we define good jobs \u2014 largely in terms of pay, stability, autonomy, benefits, work-life balance, etc.
\n<\/span>Further, learning a trade need not mean that you\u2019re not cut out for college, or that your mind is second-rate. You can be quite smart and still choose to make your living with your hands. So too, it simply isn\u2019t the case that your day-to-day work in the trades won\u2019t engage your mind:<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #2: Blue-collar work isn\u2019t creative or intellectually stimulating.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Another barrier to the trades is that there is a false notion that the work is mindless and tedious. Young people today want to be intellectually stimulated<\/em> by what they do. Surely it can only happen in a modern, minimalist office with a Mac and iPhone at hand, a big whiteboard on the wall, and fancy coffee at the ready, right? How on earth could creativity happen in a blue uniform with an auger in hand, getting to intimately know the inside a toilet?<\/span><\/p>\n

The reality is that any job in the world includes mindless and tedious tasks. That\u2019s just how it goes. In fact, a lot of office jobs are more tedious than you\u2019d expect. 90% of office workers waste time during the day on non-work-related activities \u2014 largely, surfing the web. Makes sense, though, doesn\u2019t it? Why is this? The vast majority state that they\u2019re either unchallenged, unsatisfied with their work, or are plain bored. Does that sound like an invigorating, stimulating workplace?<\/span><\/p>\n

It could pretty easily be argued that the trades offer more intellectual stimulation than the majority of office or even entrepreneurial jobs out there. Think about the residential plumber or electrician. He\u2019s out and about all day, seeing new places, meeting new people, and grappling with new problems. There could be any number of issues as to why a toilet isn\u2019t unclogging or why a particular outlet isn\u2019t working. The tradesman will start off testing the standard issues and fixes, and if that doesn\u2019t work he\u2019ll utilize increasingly complex troubleshooting procedures to determine the root cause of a problem. He\u2019s executing problem solving skills and quick thinking. The skilled trades simply offer a different type of creative outlet than a job with a startup in a trendy office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #3: You have to follow your passion, and welding isn\u2019t your passion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFollow your dreams!\u201d is a phrase that our culture is in love with these days. The idea is that in high school or college you\u2019ll realize what you love to do, and then get an education that follows so that you can have your \u201cdream job.\u201d When options are seemingly limitless, we have a really hard time choosing. We end up thinking that our lives are ruined if we don\u2019t find that one thing we really love doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, and although this is extremely hard to realize sometimes, your life isn\u2019t limitless. The reality is that most people, especially in their late teens and early twenties, have no idea what they actually want to do. But because of the stereotypes that surround blue collar work, they go to business or law school by default, because having an office job is better than being an elevator technician. How could anyone possibly be passionate about fixing elevators?<\/span>
\nIn fact, passion follows hard work and being good at what you do, rather than precedes it. What this means practically is that if you grease your elbows and master the trade of being a plumber, you\u2019ll actually come to enjoy your work. In fact, turning a hobby you\u2019re passionate about into a job is often a surefire way to kill that pleasure good and dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #4: Dirty, hard work is undesirable work.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is that the world belongs to those who hustle. Ambition without hard work won\u2019t get you anywhere. Even this generation\u2019s career heroes \u2014 the late Steve Jobs, Zuck, Elon Musk \u2014 worked insanely hard at their jobs. You only see glitz, but they\u2019ve burned more than their fair share of midnight oil.
\n<\/span>Yeah, you think, but working hard with your brain sounds better than working hard with your brawn. It\u2019s true that there are different kinds of hard work, but they\u2019re both hard in their own way. Swinging a hammer every day is never going to be as hard as filing reports from 9-5, if you\u2019re hating every single minute of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond hard work, many trades are also simply dirty and grimy. Our culture is obsessed with being clean. Antibacterial soaps and boiling stuff rule the day. We want things to be neat and tidy and minimalist, just like that clean and beautiful Apple laptop sitting on your clean desk.
\n<\/span>The reality is that a lot of tradesmen end the day with dirty hands. In a sterile society, dirty jobs become undesirable. Perhaps that\u2019s why their pay is increasing and job demand in the trades is higher than ever before. Our culture is heading to a point where an hour of plumbing is going to cost more than an hour with the psychologist.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may even discover that it feels good to be using your body and hands every day, that it\u2019s satisfying to be in touch with the elements, and that it feels good taking a well-earned shower when you actually have dirt to clean off. Nothing great or good can be accomplished without labor and toil.
\n<\/span>The days when manual labor was looked upon as a disgrace and the time when it was considered as the occupation of the poor, lesser man have passed away. Manual labor squeezes the sweat out of the muscles and roughens the hands, but roughness of the hands and scorchings of the sun on the face are the truest badge that a man can wear to show that he belongs to the great society of the workers and not of drones.<\/span><\/p>\n

La bine sau la r\u0103u, unde muncim, adesea ne define\u0219te. Este una dintre primele \u00eentreb\u0103ri pe care le punem oamenilor atunci c\u00e2nd \u00eei \u00eent\u00e2lnim prima oar\u0103. Acolo vom ajunge s\u0103 petrecem 90.000 de ore din via\u021ba noastr\u0103, aproximativ 40 de ani. Din p\u0103cate, majoritatea oamenilor se consider\u0103 nemul\u021bumit\u0103 de locul de munc\u0103.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pentru elevii moderni de liceu, direc\u021bia implicit\u0103 este terminarea liceului, intrarea la o facultate, apoi g\u0103sirea unui loc de munc\u0103 \u00eentr-un birou. Dar facultatea pur \u0219i simplu nu este pentru toat\u0103 lumea. \u0218i nici o via\u021b\u0103 de stat la un birou. Din fericire, exist\u0103 o multitudine de locuri de munc\u0103 satisf\u0103c\u0103toare \u0219i bine pl\u0103tite, \u00een afar\u0103 de pere\u021bii biroului (sau de open space ).<\/span><\/p>\n

S\u0103 explor\u0103m miturile care au f\u0103cut din calea salopetei, ceva pe care majoritatea tinerilor nici nu se g\u00e2nde\u0219te s\u0103 urmeze.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cele 4 mituri ale muncii calificate<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sudori, instalatori, electricieni, ma\u0219ini\u0219ti \u2013 sunt la mare acum \u0219i au beneficii mai mari dec\u00e2t au avut vreodat\u0103. \u00cen timp ce lumea \u00eenregistreaz\u0103 \u0219omaj record \u00een r\u00e2ndul tinerilor, exist\u0103 literalmente mii \u0219i mii de locuri de munc\u0103 disponibile (locuri de munc\u0103 foarte bune, pe bune) care r\u0103m\u00e2n neatinse, deoarece nu exist\u0103 muncitori califica\u021bi care s\u0103 le ocupe. Aceasta \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 exist\u0103 locuri de munc\u0103 bune disponibile, dar nu exist\u0103 talent care s\u0103 le ocupe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Totu\u0219i, lucrurile nu a fost mereu a\u0219a. Cu un secol \u00een urm\u0103, for\u021ba de munc\u0103 ar\u0103ta mult diferit. \u00cen 1900, 38% din totalul lucr\u0103torilor erau fermieri, cu \u00eenc\u0103 31% \u00een alte meserii, cum ar fi minerit, fabrica\u021bie, construc\u021bii, etc. Doar aproximativ 30% din for\u021ba de munc\u0103 lucra \u00een servicii (definite ca furniz\u00e2nd bunuri intangibile). Derul\u0103m 100 de ani \u00eenainte \u0219i vedem aproape exact inversul, peste 75% lucreaz\u0103 \u00een industria serviciilor (cel mai adesea \u00eentr-un birou), iar agricultura \u00eenregistreaz\u0103 o sc\u0103dere rapid\u0103 la doar 3% \u0219i alte calific\u0103ri doar 19%.<\/span><\/p>\n

De\u0219i num\u0103rul muncitorilor califica\u021bi a sc\u0103zut abrupt, exist\u0103 totu\u0219i o mare cerere pentru aceste meserii. Se lucreaz\u0103 \u0219i se c\u00e2\u0219tig\u0103 bine \u00een domeniu, deci de ce nu sunt mai mul\u021bi tineri care aleg casca \u0219i salopeta? R\u0103spunsul … Stereotipuri.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exist\u0103 o serie de mituri pe care oamenii le men\u021bin despre cariera de muncitor calificat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitul nr. 1: Munca \u00een salopet\u0103 este \u201esub\u201d munca la costum.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Din cele mai vechi timpuri, munca fizic\u0103 a fost dispre\u021buit\u0103 ca fiind o slujb\u0103 pentru sclavi, pentru s\u0103raci. Este grea \u0219i, \u00eentruc\u00e2t tendin\u021ba noastr\u0103 uman\u0103 este s\u0103 c\u0103ut\u0103m confortul peste tot, a fost o marc\u0103 de statut s\u0103 fim deasupra clasei muncitoare. \u00cen timpul industrializ\u0103rii de la sf\u00e2r\u0219itul secolului XX, munca manual\u0103 \u0219i-a pierdut o parte din stigmat. Acolo mergea economia, acolo se afla majoritatea locurilor de munc\u0103. Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce \u00eenv\u0103\u021barea unei meserii a fost o evolu\u021bie, me\u0219terii califica\u021bi au ob\u021binut din ce \u00een ce mai mult respect. Decenii mai t\u00e2rziu, tendin\u021ba de a face 4 ani de facultate a luat av\u00e2nt, profesorii \u0219i p\u0103rin\u021bii au \u00eenceput s\u0103 joace un rol consultativ important pentru elevi, ajut\u00e2ndu-i s\u0103 decid\u0103 unde s\u0103 mearg\u0103, la ce faculta\u021bi ar putea intra. \u00cenv\u0103\u021barea unei meserii era vazut\u0103 ca o carier\u0103 pentru cei care nu puteau s\u0103 intre la facultate, o solu\u021bie inferioar\u0103.<\/span><\/p>\n

Num\u0103rul din ce \u00een ce mai mare de absolven\u021bi de facultate a coincis cu o economie care trecea de la produc\u021bie \u0219i agricultur\u0103 la o pia\u021b\u0103 intelectual\u0103 \u0219i orientat\u0103 c\u0103tre servicii. Astfel, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 fie o dogm\u0103 cultural\u0103 c\u0103, dac\u0103 un t\u00e2n\u0103r \u00ee\u0219i dorea un loc de munc\u0103 bun, respectabil, pl\u0103tit bine, singura op\u021biune era s\u0103 mearg\u0103 la facultate. Pe de alt\u0103 parte, un muncitor calificat necesit\u0103 adesea mai pu\u021bin\u0103 \u0219colarizare (cam jumate \u00een majoritatea cazurilor, sau chiar mai pu\u021bin, o treime sau un sfert) \u0219i astfel acest drum \u00een carier\u0103 a devenit sinonim cu perspective mai mici de succes. Dar oricum, ce define\u0219te \u201emai bine\u201d \u00een termeni de carier\u0103? \u00cen trecut, diferen\u021ba dintre salarii \u0219i calitatea vie\u021bii era suficient de mare \u00eenc\u00e2t, s\u0103 fii om de afaceri, era \u00eentr-adev\u0103r un loc de munc\u0103 mai bun. Dar ast\u0103zi meseriile calificate au devenit, \u00een multe cazuri, egale sau mai bine pl\u0103tite \u0219i mai stabile dec\u00e2t majoritatea muncilor de birou. Aceste diferen\u021be pur \u0219i simplu nu mai exist\u0103, av\u00e2nd \u00een considerare modul \u00een care definim locuri de munc\u0103 bune – din punct de vedere al salariilor, stabilit\u0103\u021bii, autonomiei, beneficiilor, echilibrului munc\u0103-via\u021b\u0103 personal\u0103 etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00cen plus, \u00eenv\u0103\u021barea unei meserii nu trebuie s\u0103 \u00eensemne c\u0103 nu e\u0219ti f\u0103cut pentru facultate sau c\u0103 mintea ta este de nivel doi. Po\u021bi fi destul de de\u0219tept \u0219i totu\u0219i alegi s\u0103-\u021bi c\u00e2\u0219tigi existen\u021ba cu m\u00e2inile tale. Asta nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 munca de zi cu zi nu te stimuleaz\u0103.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitul nr. 2: munca \u00een salopet\u0103 nu este creativ\u0103 sau stimulant\u0103 intelectual.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

O alt\u0103 barier\u0103 \u00een calea meseriilor este c\u0103 ideea fals\u0103 c\u0103 munca este lipsit\u0103 de minte \u0219i plictisitoare. Tinerii de ast\u0103zi vor s\u0103 fie stimula\u021bi intelectual \u00een ceea ce fac. Cu siguran\u021b\u0103 asta se poate \u00eent\u00e2mpla doar \u00eentr-un birou modern, minimalist, cu un Mac \u0219i iPhone la \u00eendem\u00e2n\u0103, o tabl\u0103 mare pe perete \u0219i o cafea \u0219mecher\u0103 gata, nu? Cum ar putea s\u0103 apar\u0103 creativitatea \u00eentr-o salopet\u0103 albastr\u0103, cu un desfund\u0103tor \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, cunosc\u00e2nd intim interiorul unei toalete?<\/span><\/p>\n

De fapt orice slujb\u0103 din lume include sarcini stupide \u0219i obositoare. A\u0219a merge peste tot. Multe locuri de munc\u0103 de birou sunt mai plictisitoare dec\u00e2t te-ai a\u0219tepta. 90% dintre lucr\u0103torii de birou pierd timpul \u00een timpul zilei \u00een activit\u0103\u021bi care nu sunt legate de munc\u0103 – \u00een mare parte, navig\u00e2nd pe web. Totu\u0219i, are sens, nu? De ce oare? Marea majoritate afirm\u0103 fie c\u0103 nu are provocare, c\u0103 e nemul\u021bumit\u0103 de activitatea ei, fie se plictise\u0219te. \u021ai mai se pare un loc de munc\u0103 provocator \u0219i stimulant?<\/span><\/p>\n

A\u0219adar se poate afirma cu u\u0219urin\u021b\u0103 c\u0103 o meserie calificat\u0103 ofer\u0103 mai mult\u0103 stimulare intelectual\u0103 dec\u00e2t majoritatea muncii de birou. G\u00e2nde\u0219te-te la un instalator sau electrician. Umbl\u0103 toat\u0103 ziua v\u0103z\u00e2nd locuri noi, \u00eent\u00e2lnind oameni noi \u0219i se confrunt\u0103 cu probleme noi. Ar putea fi o gr\u0103mad\u0103 de motive pentru care o toalet\u0103 nu se desfund\u0103 sau nu func\u021bioneaz\u0103 o anumit\u0103 priz\u0103. Meseria\u0219ul va \u00eencepe s\u0103 testeze problemele \u0219i solu\u021biile standard, iar dac\u0103 acest lucru nu func\u021bioneaz\u0103, va folosi proceduri din ce \u00een ce mai complexe de depanare, pentru a g\u0103si cauza unui defect. Folose\u0219te talente de rezolvare a problemelor \u0219i g\u00e2ndire rapid\u0103. Meseriile calificate ofer\u0103 pur \u0219i simplu un alt tip de creativitate dec\u00e2t un job cu un startup \u00eentr-un birou la mod\u0103.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitul nr. 3: trebuie s\u0103-\u021bi urmezi pasiunea, iar sudura nu este pasiunea ta.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Urmeaz\u0103-\u021bi visul!” este o fraz\u0103 de care cultura noastr\u0103 este \u00eendr\u0103gostit\u0103 de aceste zile. Ideea este c\u0103 \u00een liceu sau colegiu \u00ee\u021bi vei da seama ce \u00ee\u021bi place s\u0103 faci \u0219i apoi vei primi o educa\u021bie care s\u0103 o urmeze, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 po\u021bi avea \u201ejobul t\u0103u de vis\u201d. Atunci c\u00e2nd op\u021biunile sunt aparent nelimitate, este foarte greu s\u0103 alegem. Ajungem s\u0103 credem c\u0103 vie\u021bile noastre sunt distruse dac\u0103 nu g\u0103sim acel lucru pe care \u00eel iubim cu adev\u0103rat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Din fericire, de\u0219i uneori este foarte greu de crezut, via\u021ba nu este infinit\u0103. Realitatea este c\u0103 majoritatea oamenilor, mai ales la adolescen\u021b\u0103 \u0219i spre 20, nu au habar despre ce vor s\u0103 fac\u0103 de fapt. Dar, din cauza stereotipurilor care \u00eenconjoar\u0103 munca \u00een salopet\u0103, merg direct la \u0219coala de afaceri sau de drept, pentru c\u0103 un loc de munc\u0103 la birou este mai bun dec\u00e2t tehnician de ascensoare. Cum ar putea cineva s\u0103 fie pasionat de reparat ascensoare?<\/span><\/p>\n

De fapt, pasiunea vine dup\u0103 munca grea, atunci c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti bun la ceea ce faci, mai degrab\u0103 dec\u00e2t dinainte. Practic asta \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103, dac\u0103 te murd\u0103re\u0219ti pe m\u00e2ini \u0219i st\u0103p\u00e2ne\u0219ti meseria de instalator, p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 ve\u021bi ajunge s\u0103 te bucuri de munca ta. De fapt, transformarea unui hobby de care e\u0219ti pasionat \u00eentr-o meserie, este adesea o modalitate sigur\u0103 de a ucide acea pl\u0103cere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitul nr. 4: munca grea \u0219i murdar\u0103 este o munc\u0103 nedorit\u0103.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Adev\u0103rul este c\u0103 lumea apar\u021bine celor care se agit\u0103. Ambi\u021bia f\u0103r\u0103 munc\u0103 grea nu te va duce nic\u0103ieri. Chiar \u0219i eroii de carier\u0103 ai acestei genera\u021bii – regretatul Steve Jobs, Zuck, Elon Musk – au lucrat enorm de mult la slujbele lor. Noi vedem doar sclipiciul, dar ei au tras tare zi \u0219i noapte.<\/span><\/p>\n

Da, zici, dar e mai bun lucrul greu cu creierul dec\u00e2t s\u0103 lucrezi din greu cu bra\u021bul. Este adev\u0103rat c\u0103 exist\u0103 diferite tipuri de munc\u0103 grea, dar toate sunt grele \u00een felul lor. S\u0103 dai cu ciocanul toat\u0103 ziua nu va fi niciodat\u0103 at\u00e2t de greu ca s\u0103 depui rapoarte de la 9 la 5, dac\u0103 ur\u0103\u0219ti fiecare minut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dincolo de munca grea, multe meserii sunt, de asemenea, pur \u0219i simplu murdare \u0219i sumbre. Cultura noastr\u0103 este obsedat\u0103 de cur\u0103\u021benie. S\u0103punurile antibacteriene \u0219i detergen\u021bii dicteaz\u0103. Ne dorim ca lucrurile s\u0103 fie \u00eengrijite \u0219i ordonate \u0219i minimaliste, la fel ca un Apple frumos, a\u0219ezat pe biroul t\u0103u curat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Realitatea este c\u0103 mul\u021bi meseria\u0219i \u00eencheie lucrul cu m\u00e2inile murdare. \u00centr-o societate steril\u0103, locurile de munc\u0103 murdare devin nedorite. Poate tocmai de aceea salariile lor cresc, iar cererea de locuri de munc\u0103 calificate este mai mare ca niciodat\u0103. Cultura noastr\u0103 se \u00eendreapt\u0103 c\u0103tre un punct \u00een care o or\u0103 lucru la instala\u021bia sanitar\u0103 va costa mai mult ca o or\u0103 la psiholog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Po\u021bi chiar s\u0103 descoperi ce bine e s\u0103-\u021bi folo\u0219ti corpul \u0219i m\u00e2inile \u00een fiecare zi, c\u0103 este satisf\u0103c\u0103tor s\u0103 fii \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu natura \u0219i ce bine te sim\u021bi f\u0103c\u00e2nd un du\u0219 bine-meritat, atunci c\u00e2nd chiar ai murd\u0103rie de dat jos. Nimic mare sau bun nu se poate realiza f\u0103r\u0103 munc\u0103 \u0219i trud\u0103.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zilele \u00een care munca manual\u0103 a fost privit\u0103 ca o dizgra\u021bie \u0219i epoca \u00een care a fost considerat\u0103 ocupa\u021bia oamenilor s\u0103raci, am\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi, a apus. Munca manual\u0103 stoarce sudoare din mu\u0219chi \u0219i \u00een\u0103spre\u0219te m\u00e2inile, dar asprimea m\u00e2inilor \u0219i arsura soarelui pe fa\u021b\u0103 sunt cea mai adev\u0103rat\u0103 insign\u0103 pe care un om o poate purta, pentru a ar\u0103ta c\u0103 apar\u021bine marii societ\u0103\u021bi a muncitorilor \u0219i nu a dronelor.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
