Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
When we were young, our parents often told us it would be good to learn a trade, didn't they?
Do you know what that means?
Is it especially hard for young people these days to relate to this? (Is it because they're part of the digital generation??)
Well, to put it simply, the construction industry is also a trade, isn't it?
That goes for designers, and it’s true for us slope engineers, too—we’re all skilled tradespeople.
Being able to earn a living with just your own two hands is what it means to have a marketable skill.
Skills you’ve truly mastered will serve you well throughout your life.
It’s often said that people who really put in the effort in their 20s and 30s start to stand out in their 40s.

They say that if you do it right, you’re basically a full-fledged professional, and from there you keep honing your skills. (In a way, this might be the starting line.)
That way, you'll definitely never forget, right?
It's just like not forgetting to brush your teeth.
It’s thanks to my daily practice that I can brush thoroughly every day without even thinking about it.
That said, however, skilled trades evolve with the times.
If a trade doesn't evolve, it will disappear.
For example, footwear evolved from going barefoot to wearing straw sandals, then from straw sandals to geta, and finally from geta to shoes.
But these days, there aren't any geta shops anymore.
Even straw sandal shops are just souvenir shops these days, huh? lol
I’ll continue working using the skills I have now, while also creating jobs for the next generation.
To survive! We must change and evolve!
By acquiring a skill and continuing to hone it, you’ll be able to see what lies ahead.
Learning a trade is hard work, but it’s a skill that will support you for the rest of your life.
It’s often said that slope maintenance workers are a profession that will never disappear as long as there are mountains. (Technically, it’s part of infrastructure.)
Let's keep refining this technology and pass it on to the next generation ^^
See you later.
