What does the idiomatic expression not bred to any trade means?

∙ 14y ago
The term apparently comes from the book Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Dafoe and refers to the idea that he who is not born to any trade would be above common labor. Such a person would not stoop to such work as carpentry or shoemaking; he was born in a higher class.
Or perhaps...an idiot who can't learn a thing.
