I’ve been trying to help a 26 year old grandson of a renter. I’ve been paying him $9 an hour. Problem is, I must work with him as he’ll do the stupidest things I’ve ever seen*. He seems okay, but there are obvious problems with is attention span and intelligence. Because of the downsides, nine bucks is almost too much. He’d never be hired for much. I’ve tried to teach him a skill he can use but it’s easier to teach a chimp to play chess.
* Just to pick one that could have been horrible, I showed him how to use a chainsaw. He laid the cutting bar across his foot, held down the gas switch and was about to pull the cord. If I hadn’t seen it and yelled he might have cut his foot in half.
And you probably toed him not to do that.
