I don't know anyone that feels that way, but I know lots of people, as children, that were encouraged to _not_ seek out that kind of profession because they should do something "better." In otherwords, if you seem capable of being an accountant you _shouldn't_ be a carpenter. That's the propaganda that public education teaches. Most people I know have enormous respect for tradesmen but were never given a proper opportunity to consider it for themselves so they frequently become family businesses passed on generation to generation, a number of which have been my clients.
