Tried for five years to hire a young guy here to work with me. Would pay him better than any of the factories in town to start, and more as he learned. Once he got to where he could do whatever he got sent to do and I didn't have to go fix it, I was willing to hand him the business. Tools, customers, all of it. No takers. They all want to make a living being chair pilots. Working with your hands is viewed as second class work, for those who can’t do any “better”. Good luck hiring anyone reliable for the dirty but necessary jobs. Once we’re gone, the fuggers can starve out in the open, I guess.
