[QUOTE="R_Chance, post: 7614047, member: 55149"] Yes, I said education *and* training. You don't need to be highly "educated" (in degrees) to be skilled. You do have to be trained. You are. The worker in the middle ages would not have had the opportunity to travel, learn, and gain skills like you did. He would have been stuck in the same locale, doing largely the same job his father did. The possibility of running off to the city and learning something new being a fairly low order probability. That's my point. *edit* I was, in short, not claiming formal education, as the only route to skills. I have been trained in a number of areas not covered by my college education... the options for that training are largely a result of modern society. High mobility, technology, literacy, and the acceptance of "strangers" (i.e. somebody you did not grow up with), among other factors of modern life make training / skills much more available.
