Workforce now days ? Is it just me ?
When I was young, there were plenty of opportunities for young people such as myself! I did hay, .10c a bale, picked asparagus and strawberries, had a job with a schoolteacher who stopped at gas stations everyday and picked up used tires! I made tons of cash, worked everyday in the summer, and everyday after school during the school year! I had 3 cars before i could even drive, and could drive truck, tractors and farm implements at will!!
You can't say there are no opportunities!! I give my son every opportunity to make money, as he knows I won't just give it to him! I give him emblems and trim, all he has to do is list it!!! Doesn't do it!! Took him to work on Thursday to help lay tile, worked one day and I paid him $50, not bad for a 12 year old! Didn't want to double down and work 2 days in a row, has enough money to go out Friday, that's all he wants!! I don't want to be the asshole dad that makes my kids do things, I'd rather be the dad who offers the opportunity to do it for themselves with my help! They don't want to!!
His tile skillz around the soapbox and window opening!!!
