  1. yeah. and dear old dad used to drag me out to work with him every summer after I turned 10 or 11. seems like a blur now. anyway. when other kids went to the shore or the mountains for summer vacation, I went to work. with a concrete crew that my dad ran. after a few summers,
    I liked it really. made money and got in shape. better than any gym rat did that for sure.
    didn't realize it until I went into the army. then I found out what dad did for me.
    never fired from a job and was always welcomed back. todays kids, not all of them. but a lot are just lazy. they never had to work for anything and it shows.

    1. Getting worse with the unrealistic min. wage. Why hire a teen or anyone still going to school?
      The unions and their D friends want high Min. wage to boost the union wages contractually obliged to be higher than minimum.

  4. Today I read that a new high school has opened in my area.
    It is a Mike Rowe Academy for students from age 14-20. Upon graduation, earn a HS diploma plus a certificate in one of several trades.
    Apparently now in 48 states and scholarships available.
