NO IT NOT TOTALLY DIFFERENT TODAY. I hire 18 year olds. They have never worked at anything a day in their lives. They think they are worth 20 dollars an hour. In reality, they aren't worth the air they breathe.

They don't know how to do anything. They have to be taught to do the simplest of things. They can't add, subtract, multiply or divide. They are lazy and fat.

They needed to have worked when they were 10 or 11 and continued to work until they became adults so they would know how to work and be of value.

Whatever. These were not family members. These were kids forced to do this. If you want to hire 18 year olds to work your business than you should be training them. It is your business and you should have some personal interest in making sure these kids know what you want them to do. Big difference between 18 years old and these children. We didn't work until out of high school or even college in some cases in my family and we are all professionals working in good jobs. Kids need to be concentrating on education as a child not working.....they have their whole life to work. My kids don't work either. They have chores like take out the trash. But not cutting down acres of wheat.

You're painting with a mighty broad brush there. I know many 17, 18 & 19 year-olds with strong work ethics. In most cases the apples do not fall far from the trees.
