There's an irony here that the folks calling for a return of 'real jobs' in manufacturing hate academics, but on some level the academic actually is an artisanal craftworker.

I craft my own words, write my own lectures, deliver them personally & offer instruction tailored individually to students.

when people say this they imagine, like, artisanal carpentry or baking, not eight hours on the manufacturing line adjusting a thousand widgets because you're marginally cheaper than a machine
