Its a very true comment in response to this writers previous day
article when he said about some young people out of work here in Portugal

the writer said this...
"There are maybe a 20 of them, sitting cross-legged on the grass as the shadows lengthen across the Príncipe Real gardens in Lisbon. A graphic designer, a primary school teacher, two economists, a photographer, a business intelligence analyst, an antique restorer, a tourist guide, aged from their mid-20s to their late 50s"

and the comment in response

" A graphic designer, a primary school teacher, two economists, a photographer, a business intelligence analyst, an antique restorer, a tourist guide "

Do you notice something here ?

All of these job descriptions are for Jobs in the Service sector.

None of these people actually make anything.

Nobody is catching Fish, mining coal, growing crops or building ships.

Nobody is actually creating Wealth."

To be honest I do not think I know anyone personally who makes anything for a living anywhere in the world.

Someones making the stuff in the shops, go to India or China and see them some of them are 5 years old.
