Those seem like pretty critical skills to teach someone in the ruling elite actually.

Doing those things at scale is ‘work’ even if it isn’t what most people consider work.

Learning how to sweat a pipe is useful if that’s what you’re going to need to do to put food on the table.

Learning how to placate powerful sponsors, not get caught doing naughty things, and networking among other power brokers is how you put food on the table as a ruling elite isn’t it? Or at least avoid being burned at the stake.

And not something they’re going to teach effectively at your neighborhood public school.
