| On the post about picking fruit someone made a comment about part of the problem with labor is that many people get a job and only do that one thing forever. I grew up on a grain and livestock farm with a father that had been a mechanic and done carpentry before farming.There are many things that I assumed everyone knew that I had just grown up with. I knew of many kids from farm families that had one kid go off into a business of his own simply because of things learned as a teen. When I was little I shingled a hog house one summer then started doing one side of a barn every summer after that. I hate to think how much concrete I poured,but it got done.
The majority of people grow up in cities,,those kids don't know anything unless they are specifically taught to them,,,a lot of jobs that us older guys think are simple because we did them without pausing to think are going to be paying a lot of money to those that will get their hands dirty. | |
