    All these involve learning and maintaining skills more removed from power than skills of more industrial professions (monotonous work).

    I tend to disagree. There is something gratifying in making something with your own hands/tools. I could buy a table, or a drawer, or a pre-built computer. But I kinda enjoy making/assembling mine own. There are other people out there that enjoy gardening, and plenty other “monotonous work”.

      Losing the point, though - which is that the work you’d enjoy won’t be in demand. Including what you’ve described.
