If they don't have a good work ethic they're not going to do more than scrape by in a skilled trade either. At least in Texas they won't. Maybe it's different in states where the trade unions have a monopoly and protect the lazy.jmra wrote:Only watched the first few minutes of the video but could tell where it was going. The only people I see around here doing "dirty jobs" are Mexican immagrants. Those who should be doing them appear to believe they are owed something better.
I see kids everyday that couldn't give a rip about doing their school work talking about what college they're going to attend. Few of them will make it past the first year. Those who do manage to scrape by will struggle keeping a job due to their poor work ethic.
There was a time that these kids would have had other options available to them in school. Things which would interest them such as mechanics shop, or wood shop, or even basic welding shops. But we've done away with all of that because every child should go to college. We have done a great disservice to both our kids and our country. At some point we need to wake up and smell the coffee.
However, I agree we need to wake up and smell the coffee. The only solution is to stop the handouts. People will get off their butts and work or they won't. Either way they will get what they deserve.
