You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it's all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don't earn $3 million a picture and can't afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen.

WHAT DOES TRADESMEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tradesmen

Tradesman

This article is about the "skilled manual worker" meaning of the term; for other uses, see Tradesperson. Carpenter at work with a brace in Tennessee, June 1942 A tradesman or tradesperson is a skilled manual worker in a particular trade or craft not in the liberal arts, "learned professions" or agriculture. Economically and socially, a tradesman's status is considered between a laborer and a professional, with a high degree of both practical and theoretical knowledge of his or her trade. In cultures where professional careers are highly prized, there can be a shortage of skilled manual workers, leading to lucrative niche markets in the trades. The training of a trade in European cultures has been a formal tradition for many centuries. A tradesman typically begins as an apprentice, working for and learning from a Master, and after a number of years is released from his or her master's service as a journeyman. After a journeyman has proven himself to his or her trade's guild, he or she may settle down as a master and work for themselves, eventually taking on their own apprentices. Since the 20th century, this process has been changed in many ways.
