As a tradesperson myself, I completely reject the idea that the trades place limits on people.
In my opinion, getting an expansive view of human knowledge has almost nothing to do with where and what you formally study. Indeed, as you progress through higher learning institutions a person tends to learn more and more about less and less.
If a person is curious and motivated they'll have more luck getting an expansive view that those who are not.
It may very well be that motivated curious people attend higher learning institutions more, but those people will obtain their expansive view in spite of their formal education, not because of it. Generally speaking.
