Its not so much the kids fault - but what is lacking in a lot of parents. We have become complacent as a nation and feel this type of work is beneath us. Maybe you can't survive on that level of wages, but it doesn't mean you should look down on that type of work.
If you don't take the time with your children to instill a good work ethic they are not going to pick one up in school. You can be just as lazy writing programs as you can be mowing lawns!
Is it our fault for not making our kids go out and get a summer job, but buying them everything they need?
I was pumping gas in a Shell station 5 nights a week from 9th grade on. It afforded me my cars and parts. It taught me to provide for myself. There are very few entry level jobs that give you a Jag to drive to work. There is a rude awakening coming for many graduates.
Today to many parents just buy their kids whatever they want just to not have to listen to it, and the kids wind up the losers in the end.

NO,NO. I did not take offense. I agree with you. My wife and I are just lucky I guess. Most kids today have no skills. They can work a computer and a cell phone but can't and won't dig a ditch or mow a lawn. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

WOW Dog....you said it right! I guess if we were those types of employers we would not want those kids working for us either. Some day maybe these kids will wake up and smell the coffee! I pumped gas from about 67-71 and also collected trash for a few years too. Good money in the late 60's and it kept me lean and mean throwing those trash cans around.......unlike I am today. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

We have too many kids going for useless degrees. Everyone thinks they have to go to college now, and no one wants a job that requires actual physical labor. The market is getting flooded with kids with useless degrees who are getting paid next to nothing. Meanwhile the guy driving a bulldozer, or doing machine work makes more money than they do.
