That cuts two ways.
Thanks for the article. It's a great example of why art is so important (the art in this case being writing). Our society has not consciously chosen to walk down the path of intellectual, white collar jobs. What parents want for their kids is not really a mystery, or has even changed in the last 60 years. The how has changed, because society began to believe, under influence, a certain way is necessary.
