my post was actually referring to summer help, college students
and the like. and his comment was about twenty year olds
that do not like `hard work`.
most americans work long, very hard hours, but
most work at jobs that demand brain work, repetition
and not `labor`.
often we get young people doing low priced work
that is clean, but does not pay. hard work
would suit them better. (in my opinion)

I think the driveway codger was wrong. What I know is that grants
and scholarships are much more difficult to get now than they were when I
went to college. I know this from the experience of my own kids. My
daughter, for instance, graduated Salutatorian from her H.S.. The State
Universities she applied to all said her family income was too high to
recieve any grants. She is an ICU RN, after 4 years of college paid by
work and loans.
My daughter-in-law, who is studying art in New Zealand is a totally
different story. In New Zealand they value their young people and know
they are their greatest national asset. She is attending college and it
is all paid for by the state.
A society is responsible for how their young people turn out.
You know a country by what it spents its money on.
I think someone else brought the thought up: maybe this guy doesn't
know how to treat his workers? When I was a sophomore in H.S., I worked
for a master plumber. I hand poured his septic tanks and dug the holes
for them and trenches for the drain fields, when the trees were too thick
and the backhoe couldn't dig through the tree roots (I used a shovel, axe
and saw.) His son owned a Suzuki/Norton dealership. I worked for him
for $1.00 and hour, because he was going to buy me a motorcycle at the end
of the year. That summer (1970), I won a scholarship to attend a two week
intensive at Michigan State University in engineering and computer science.
The dim-witted boss said he'd fire me if I went (thought I woudn't give up a
motorcycle to attend the seminar.) I went to MSU. I later learned that
the motorcycle was a ruse, he always promised them but never gave them.
So, in any troubled relationship, you can't know the story
just by hearing it from one person.
