Take in consideration the culture difference here. In Japan perfect the craft is considered highly valuable (when the culture in USA, is about get more profits). So, I assume that this apply only if you like the job. If you don't like the job, how can you actually commit to it? I remember an old documentary (forget the name, sorry) that show that the government(?) give funds to people like him that still get alive old ways to do stuff. I remember the documentary talk about build samurai swords, pottery and jeans(?). This last one stuck to me because was claimed the jeans will last 100 years or something like that.
