What do you know about Bill Bird?¿

Bill Bird is a shoemaker who is 45 years old. He has a shoe shop in the city center where he lives. However he usually works in his work shop in the country side.

He makes shoes for people who have unusual sizes. People travel from all around the world to visit his work shop and buy his shoes. These shoes usually cost around 500 the first pair. Then, people pay between 320 and 450 depending on the shoes. Bill's shoes are expensive but they also are comfortable and fashionable, and people really love them.


Bill's problem is that he cannot find skilled workers. He wants to teach young people how to make good shoes but they prefer to work with computers these days.

An employee needs two weeks to make a pair of shoes that's why his shoes are so expensive.

In my opinion it's true that young people prefer to work with computers instead of learning traditional jobs nowadays, and for this reason I think that old traditions and jobs are disappearing.
