Parenting
Related: About this forumMy niece's U.S. high school graduate son has just moved to France,
to start the process of joining the guild to learn metal work like his dad.
His father does 'wrought iron work.' I haven't seen any of his work, but it appears useful and remunerative.
Do WE have any such traditions, join a guild to learn and follow in parent's footsteps? Maybe, I guess: I did attend law school, following Dad's and uncles' and cousin's footsteps!

Maybe not a romantic as Hawaii or Fiji or something, but if you like art, great food, jazz, and a good time, hard to beat New Orleans.

The European idea of 'guilds' is, from what I understand, a good deal more comprehensive than American unions.
