I do think that attitude is changing though, as many tradesmen these days are fairly sophisticated business people.

Many high net worth owner-managers that financial advisors, lawyers, accountants and other multiple postsecondary degree holding professionals in Alberta rely on as clients come from skilled trades, ranching and farming, and many of them have net worths that senior partners and executives would be envious of.
It's a ridiculous mentality that a menial white collar job done by someone with a useless liberal arts degree is somehow superior to skilled blue collar work done by someone with certifications and diplomas.
