Frustrated with the cubicle life, Matthew Crawford fled his job at a Washington, D.C. think tank and started fixing motorcycles, a job he found intellectually challenging and ultimately more satisfying. In his new book “Shop Class as Soulcraft,” Crawford argues that it’s time for society to start recognizing the value of hands-on work — and to reevaluate the idea that college is for everyone.
