They didn't have degrees, but they probably were "accredited" in the sense they were grandmasters in guilds.

Btw we should bring back guilds, politically powerful racially exclusive guilds would solve the entire problem of businesses being able to ship in cheap racial alien labor.

Stones for jobs like these were handled like a chain of people from least skilled to most, or from apprentice to master, from rough cut to finished stone.

For some reason people have forgotten that you can learn by osmosis simply by being around something you will learn how to do it if you pay some attention to whatever it is.

The other factor is that professions were handed down through generations, from father to son, over hundreds of years.


It's how some families got last names that aligned with their professions. The wisdom and learned experience of dozens of generations, built upon for hundreds of years, will dwarf the academic book learning of schools every time.


Most people who actually work in their fields are well aware of how utterly stupid most "experts" are, like scientists, engineers, and academics who couldn't design, theorize, or think their way out of a wet bag, and have never touched a tool relevant to their profession their entire lives. Much of a working man's time is spent wondering what the hell the engineers were thinking, if at all, because their decisions only make sense on paper, but are utterly stupid in reality. This disparity is becoming even more profound as the competency crisis gets worse, and DEI initiatives of colleges and companies inflames the issue.

Guilds were a lot like unions before unions even existed.

Unions can be good and they were good at their inception, particularly for the new industrial working class that didn't have the protections of a well established occupation like a bricklayer or stonemason.
