一步一个脚印

The following is a glossary of trades (手艺), crafts (工艺) and occupations (职业) in English and Chinese. Basically it’s a run-down of the most common courses you can study at TAFE (or any technical college around the world).

The name of the trade/occupation is provided, along with the position title. Professions (e.g. law, medicine, accounting, etc) are not included.

I think this list is useful because the word for the trade and the tradesperson is not intuitive in either English or Chinese.

Please leave your comments at the bottom. Thanks, again, to Michael and Bo for their excellent translations!
