'''Can we have a paying job providing goods and services that allow others to live appropriately? '''Making a profession out of helping others to live an appropriate lifestyle is indeed a possibility. However, one must first possess the requisite knowledge, skills, experience and other qualifications needed to become an effective service provider or product supplier. At present there are few opportunities to learn about sustainable construction available in traditional schools, so we must assume that many of those wanting to carve a profession out of supplying specialty services or products will themselves lack substantial amounts of critical knowledge. Appropedia compiles [[open knowledge]] resources, including a list of courses given in different subjects, which could be taught at the (existing or proposed) [[appropriate technology villages]]. Depending on the profession, setting up a shop would also be possible through these AT villages. Another possible option is to immerse oneself in volunteer work to gain experience in a desired profession. See chapter 5 for more information. Β
