You are right about that. It starts early, too. I own a small farm and I'm always needing help with chores. I've been through about a dozen teenagers in the past couple of years. None of them want to work. I think I've had one out of about 12 or 13 that stuck with me all summer. None of the rest lasted more than a couple of days....
That’s too bad. I may not want to work at the same job for the rest of my life, but I am willing to work and stick around for a decent amount of time. Leaving before the summer was over (the job was complete) wouldn’t be okay.
Too bad many are so lazy, but I have no doubt that’s true.
Part of the problem is, people of the borderline Gen X/Y and Y category have always had things pretty easy with technology and everything always being a part of their life. Manual labor isn’t pretty common, nor is hard work of any kind.
