I was sitting here this morning in my office, waiting on this rain that was gonna screw up my days plans....(southwest ohio) and drinking a cup of coffee. I read the posts below about todays youth starting out, what the possibilities are for them, and where good jobs are at and are heading in this country.
Id say, from my point of view, if you are a young man or woman who has some ambition and drive, a bit of mechanical ability and know how, you will be fine.
I say this, because as a electrical contractor I have been looking to hire a new apprentice. I prefer to get a young kid out of highschool and teach them from 'the ground up". You wouldn't believe how hard that it is to find a suitable candidate for this.
I recently thought I had one, a local kid ive known for a few years, clean cut, respectful. I hired him for summer help hoping to make it into a long term deal. I told him the possibilities from day 1. He is 22 years old.
The kid cant do anything without his dad telling him ok. He can work when his dad does not need him at his business. I explained that payday is every two weeks, second and fourth week of the month. After working a partial week (when he started was a Wednesday) he wanted paid CASH on the first week. I again explained that pay day was every two weeks.....
The next Monday, he told me that his PARENTS decided it would be best if he were paid under the table. I explained that in a REAL job, the world does not work like that, and why.
I told him if he needed some money to hold him over, I could help out that way, but payday was every two weeks.
Sunday am I get a text from him wanting to know what time (ON A SUNDAY) he could pickup his CASH for the last week.
I am DONE. The kid has been sheltered to much, does not understand how the world works, and is not able to follow basic instructions.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
