People say that jews gravitate to certain fields (Doctors/Lawyers/Bankers/Jewelers/Scientists etc.) but never (Carpenters/Plumbers/Farmers) etc.
---------------------------------------
It is my understanding that they never worked in trades such as farming, plumbing, etc., is because the weren't really landowners and always getting kicked out wherever they went. hence they took up trades which had tools that were easy to carry, like shoe repair tailors, and trading ie diamonds, with it of course, the fields of law, banking, mental assets.
Not untill the end of ww2 when they really developed as bonifide property owners and landlords begining in nyc.
