We need to send young males to Male Summer Camp so that they know how to solider a pipe, wire a circuit, build a shed, replace a water pump.
The young males I meet today are mechanically clueless.
I can attest to that. I have worked in industrial electrical maintenance for almost thirty years. I get lots of looks of dumbfoundedness every time I pull my meter out.
Other stories have reported that KBR used electricians from Afganistan to do the work. Unless your young males are willing to work for the couple of bucks a day that the KBR electricans were willing to work for then their aptitude is meaningless.
