Its about communities.

In some communities people can get away without doing any work. I know dozens who have perused degrees in liberal arts only be barristers or get an MS in a field like journalism and get paid 35,000 to write music reviews (the quality of which could be found on mechanical turk). I take it as fact that enjoying your life and living off your parents is more socially expectable than skilled trades: I think we have a long way to go before plumber becomes respected.
