Because children who worked at the time of the industrial revolution generally would not have been able to access a formal education, it could be rather good, in the hypotetical case that I have the irremediable luck of having to work to live and help my family, to have access to an artisan work that develops skills to face the future, such as carpentry, plumbing or masonry. Even if I was forced to do the most basic jobs, I could learn a lot from the older ones who did the most important jobs. Very soon I would have been able to seek my independence and to stand on my own with the skills learned.
