During this Spring Festival homecoming, I deeply felt the charm of making money as a craftsman. In the beautiful city of Hanzhong, although the GDP and consumption level are not high, the craftsmen live a nourishing and comfortable life.
Hanzhong, a third-tier city surrounded by greenery, has a leisurely pace of life and affordable consumption. In the morning, a bowl of rice skin, a bowl of vegetable tofu, a peanut porridge, and an egg can make you eat to your satisfaction for only seven or eight yuan. The house price is also relatively reasonable, with an average of about 8,000 yuan. But what impresses me the most is that the girls here are generally very good-looking, and the pure natural beauty is eye-catching.
However, what really opened my eyes was the out-of-town businessmen here. With a craft, they have made a living in the city. There is a small hairdresser near my brother's shop, and the owners are a young couple who are very skilled at their craft. Every day is busy from morning to night, business is booming, and there is an endless stream of members. It only costs 15 yuan for a haircut, but they have won the trust of the residents of the surrounding community with their warm service and pro-people**. In a year, the two can earn more than 500,000 yuan, not only buying a house and a car, but also making plans for the future of themselves and their children.
This made me deeply realize that in the future society, there are two kinds of people who will be more likely to succeed: those who have mastered high technology, resources or investment, and those who rely on their skills to serve the high-frequency needs of the people. Whether it's hairdressing, physiotherapy or specialty cuisine, as long as you have a craft, you can get the ticket to riches.
In this day and age, there are not many opportunities to make a lot of money. There are no skills to develop skills, the key is whether a person has the desire to make money. On the streets of Hanzhong, I also saw an old couple selling sugarcane, who could sell sugarcane for 5,000 yuan a day, and the profit was also quite considerable. Although it is hard, they earn more than many people.
This also made me think, is it really better to have a higher education than a craft? In fact, with the development of artificial intelligence, more and more intellectual workers may be at risk of being replaced. Craftsmen, on the other hand, are able to rely on their skills and services to gain a firm foothold in society.
The future business will belong to offline craftsmen and online craftsmen. Doing it from ** is actually a craft. Monetizing your skills through the Internet is essentially the same as opening a barber shop and selling sugar cane. Content and transactions are always in demand. To do self-esteem is to do content, to do transactions, and to do rigid needs.
Therefore, whether you are highly educated or an ordinary person, as long as you have a craft and the desire to make money, you can find your place in this society. Remember, the door to wealth in the future will be open to those who have the craft and the spirit of innovation.
