%X In this paper the author himself tells an auto-ethnographical tale about how he came to read and understand Paul Willis's Learning to Labour (1977) in the late 1970s as a 22-year-old non-qualified junior high school teacher of Finnish ¡®lads¡¯ whose parents had come to Sweden as industrial workers in the late 1960s and early1970s. While most of these ¡®lads¡¯ came to reproduce class, the author himself continued to higher education to become a ¡®class traveller¡¯. Hence, cultural production and cultural autonomy can work in more than one way, even at the very same time
