The Big Trouble is of course that it varies with History (if the founder of our clan was a heroic basketweaver, then basketweaving is a status craft) and Geography (if you live near water, fishermen will rank high among the Providers, and boatwrights will have high status, since they perform a difficult craft everyone is dependent on).
