Try being a plumber 99% of what you do is hidden, there are 100's of rules, laws and principles, that are esoteric yet seeming simple. Then all the customer gets is a big bill....for things they take for granted heat, clean water and sanitation.....Atleast with a bricklayer you get something you can see, touch, admire and appreciate :)

Because it has substance and immediacy. And craft.
The work is there right in front of you to see. Don't need an agency, PR firm, or a member of the media to explain it to you.
It's right...or it's not.

Jeff,
That is true. The substance part may be key because I don't have the same sensation watching a house painter or a gardener.

Bob,
You'll hear no criticism of plumbers from me. I confess though, that I don't like to watch them work. Bricklaying, on the other hand, is fascinating.
