I am proud to say that my oldest daughter (19 years old) is a certified welder for a major company. She has severe dyslexia and school was difficult for her, but she graduated high school without any accommodations (her choice). She has always been a tomboy that loves learning how to do things. She can lay brick, block, rock and tile. She’s also an auto mechanic. Basically she excels at jobs that are hands on. Now that she has learned how to do things for herself and is self sufficient the skies the limit for her. I was lucky enough for God to choose me to be her mom and she amazes me every day with her determination. Mommy loves you Alayna

All 3 of my daughters started out with older trucks. It was a great bonding experience for them to work on it with their dad to rebuild their trucks. Nowadays with how the guys are their age, it makes my heart smile when something goes wrong with their guy friends cars and it’s my girls that fix it. I tell their boyfriends that they are the luckiest man having a girlfriend who loves kids, cooking and cleaning but also loves hunting, fishing and fixing things.

His values is what America was built on, hard work, honest pay, good morals, ands proud to be who he is, no handouts, no excuses, he earns his keep, he provides for his family, doesn't complain.

[@turo3066]

I come from a very different background an upbringing as these gentlemen. I was raised by an immigrant single mother in an urban environment. Along with support from her family my mother managed to pull two jobs, go to college part-time and raised three boys. My mother raised us in NYC during one of the worst times of its history crime-wise. With tough love she instilled morals and a work ethic and kept us from falling through the cracks. While she didn't necessarily push us in any particular direction she emphasized that we needed to do SOMETHING with ourselves. Part of our society's problem is that we have encouraged people for generations to be individualistic at the expense of morals and ethics. For the last thirty or so years society has brainwashed kids to believe everyone should go to college and pursue easy white collar professions. And society has also encouraged people to distrust traditional institutions and authority. It's no wonder that so many people have mental health issues and no real purpose in life.

Excellent!!! All young'uns need to listen to this!! And while I was listening it made me think of my son. He's 33 and married and has a 5month old baby girl with Downs Syndrome and I'm really proud of his work ethic and devotion to God and his family. He went to college for 1 yr, decided he didn't like the professors telling him how to think, quit college, and he had a scholarship! So then he went to work on a river barge up and down the Mississippi River, out 28 days at a time. Learned skills on that job, operated a big crane, and thought he might want to work his way up to captain on a barge. But then he decided he was lonely and wanted a girlfriend. Lol. Went through a little bit of a bad time during that and God got him back on track. Then he went to work on a crew that fracked and drilled for gas and loved it!! He worked his way up the ranks, took all the classes he could for his future jobs and got his certifications and had his own crew with men older than him working under him. Made more money than I did in my lifetime! Then he got out of that when he saw where that was heading and went to work for the railroad. After 4yrs of that and moving up the ranks there, he quit, I thought he was crazy at the time for quitting but God led him to. Now he has his own consulting company and makes dang good money and gets to be home every night with his family. He doesn't have to travel all over like he used to. And I hear him all the time talking about how it's difficult to keep good workers that want to work. He said most of them can't even pass a drug test. What good workers he's got, he rewards them for it and their loyalty. I'm right proud of him. God blessed me with a good boy! Thank You, Lord!

As a mom of girls, my husband and I raised them to work hard. All 3 of them work circles around the other younger crowd. We strongly felt that it was our job to teach them how not to depend on others and show them that they are more than capable of doing a job the right way the first time around. We instilled in them to love God, Country and the outdoors. They also respect their elders and even speak up when their friends are slacking. Needless to say, my girl’s will be the first to jump in and help people around them. It’s sad that we have had to also teach them not to let others walk all over them. I personally just can’t fathom what some of the other parents were doing instead of raising their kids. God bless

Right on! My dad couldn’t be a farmer any more after WW II due to the scars from being burned when he was shot down & a POW in Romania. So he used his GI bill to become a journeyman electrician. He worked hard to support us earning an honest living. My mother was a teacher with double Master’s Degrees but I was taught to never look down on tradesmen because they do the work that hold us together. When my son was in high school and struggling he said everyone in our family would not respect him because he wasn’t college material. I sat him down and told him there was nothing to be ashamed of in working with his hands if that was what he wanted to do. He had a natural gift for doing auto body work, learned the trade well. Then he went to college part time for 7 years while working full time to support his family, got his bachelor’s degree in business management and now manages a shop. He can run it well because he knows how everything works. I am incredibly proud of his work ethic. He is succeeding as an adult when as a teenager he thought he was “too stupid” to do anything. Kids now don’t get that support to be themselves and look at other options.

I love this channel. Just found it and have laughed more in 30 minutes then in months! ( Subscribed & shared with a buddy too!) My Dad taught me his work ethic, giving me my independence, and a laser focused belief that I belonged anywhere I wanted to be & that I could do anything I put my mind to. Without him I don't know where I would be today. I too wanted to be a veterinarian, but when I realized that wasn't going to be rational path forward for me, I decided to follow in my dad's footsteps and join the trades. With that being said, I just turned 45, and this is my 26th year in the industrial electrical trade. I started when I was eighteen at a steel mill in Alabama working 7 days a week / 12 hours a day. I thought I was going to die! I survived. Obviously. Here, 26 years later, I work on the North Slope of Alaska in the oil & gas industry. The trades have treated me well, provided for me and my family, and given me a quality of life I never would have had otherwise. Also, this trade has given me confidence and independence. I encourage everyone I encounter that's looking for a path forward in life, to join the trades. Especially young woman. Although they're still so very few of us. I've often been asked over the years, "How I can you work with those guys? Don't they harass you?" The answer is, "No". The majority of the men I have worked with in my career have Mama's that was slap the snot out of them for disrespecting a woman. Especially, a woman pulling her fair share of the weight, and keeping it real with her buddies, co-workers, & brothers. The best days of my life have been days working with "the boys" on a crew. We work out asses off, laugh a lot, flip each other shit, earn a fair days wages, & finish each day feeling we accomplished something. Trades are a great path forward... They will teach you what you can accomplish inspite of heat, cold, negative circumstances, fatigue, and more.... Regardless of the circumstances, you can succeed.

Being a 26 year old man and grouped with the generation in discussion, I agree 100% with everything yall are saying. I was never taught my work ethic, but rather baptized by fire. Lived on the Gulf Coast of Texas my whole life. Got my first job at 14 because mommy and daddy weren't handing money out. Haven't stopped working since. The pure satisfaction of a day well worked is reward enough, but also being a man that doesn't want to rely on anyone else, and be a sole provider for my family is the big driver. I went to trade school to get an associates degree right out of high school, and I work in the chemical plants now. Spot on about the trades, and I try to preach that to anyone without a career yet. Companies will pay HIGH dollar for electricians, carpenters, millwrights, plumbers etc. because no one wants to use their hands and put in some hard work. Currently make more than probably 75% of people that went to a university and got a desk job. Everyone wants the fastest and easiest ticket to success, with the least amount of work now days. I see it all the time. I'll take 12 hour shifts, working in any weather and averaging 5-6 hours of sleep over being a robot at a desk. The good book says to, "...work with your hands so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one." Keep speaking the truth brother.

Today is my 22nd anniversary of owning my own upholstery shop. I have a BA in journalism and hated being in an office, wearing a tie, and going after people. My father hated when I dropped it, took a major hit in pay and started working at a British car restoration shop. I loved it from day 1. I found out my dad used to call me "grease monkey" even though we were turning out $150,000 art pieces. He always said I shouldn't be working with my hands.... even though he was a 50-yeae construction worker and carpenter. I can drive around town and see the buildings my dad built. He left an impression on our community. He built it. I tried to make him understand that I was like him and proud of it. 22 years as an auto upholsterer, I think he'd be proud of what I've done with it.

That's probably true in most public schools. However, I'm a teacher at a magnet public school that teaches manufacturing technology and the trades. When our kids are seniors, they are required to do an internship and WORK for three months. Trust me ... they are all employable, and we make them develop a true old-fashioned work ethic. We don't discourage college, and many of our kids DO go on to school. But there's no pressure. I teach government, and trust me ... it's not liberal BS. The kids understand how the real government SHOULD work.

[@cordcd7]

@Greg Russell Things in public (gov't) schools have changed, a lot. I graduated HS in 2005 and the college push was present but it wasn't pushed nearly as hard as now. Going to college is more of a societal thing, but trades or even military was never posed as a viable option for me by my guidance counselor or teachers. My HS didn't have any of the vocational style classes available. Most schools also now don't have the traditional vocational classes that used to be standard. Gone are the days of woodshop, auto, technology heck even home ec. Those all left most school systems shortly after I graduated. I remember that I even inquired with the GC about going to the local Votech school and both he and many students indicated it was where you went if you couldn't cut it in the regular HS or had problems with the law or disciplinary issues. I suppose that I merely further proved your point, at least about the school you worked at. By and large however, trades occupations are not the first in line for high school students these days. There's a reason we have a huge shortage of tradesmen and an overabundance of gender studies/liberal arts degree majors working at Starbucks.

[@tedzerbe9626]

The high school I went to in the 70's was in a town that had several foundry's. In metal shop class they taught everything from welding to making molds and pouring molten metal , there were metal lathes and a drafting class. There was a Vocational Education Center for the county which you could attend while in high school. So you could graduate from high school with the knowledge needed to land a job /career in a chosen field. The "VO-ED" center covered everything from childcare to autobody to electricians to carpentry and many more.

My answer was "the hard way". I was given the opportunity to work on ever more complex tasks and different positions in management. Got more than a few talking too's from whomever was my boss at the time along the way. Learned my lesson and moved on. Nope never finished college but I got the job.

Great discussion. What I saw from young people in the work place: with zero experience, they knew it all; they were sure they were smarter than you; they were impatient and felt after 8 months they should have been promoted twice because they did a good job on some one thing; they felt anyone with more title and making more money was an “unfairness” (ignoring more experience, expertise, and judgment); they got bored quick and would listen to others only long enough to figure out how to do something differently (better, in their mind); they would disparage the slower, steady, consistently well-performing workers. But note, I do live on the west coast.

the best advice I can give you for that entitled person that wants a paycheck without working is to harden the groundwork of their work ethic not by encouraging their ethic but reinforcing their work example: When Johnny comes to you after 6 months and says it's too hard. tell him you see value in his work and if he keeps at it he will be an incredible worker. encouraging the work builds the ethic and it won't take long for Johnny to see the value in the work he's done and the knowledge he's gained that he couldn't have gotten anywhere else. This is something I learned in the military that takes excellent soldiers and makes them exceptionally excellent. they will also learn more than just the trade but will start applying those lessons to everyday life in the form of things like common sense and problem solving. don't quit on someone also means you don't allow them to quit on themselves. Celebrate the victories no matter how small. Too many of today's youth have a problem just bein bored and unmotivated simply because they lack the understanding and the feeling of accomplishment.

The worst mistake the school system ever made was taking out vocational courses. My dad and brothers took wood working, mechanical and masonry.

By the time my daughter went to high school they had cut all them classes out. I’ve heard a few schools have started to offer masonry classes, but they need to bring them all back so young people can learn skills they can use all their lives. Your friend has skills that has grown into a business. The best education one can have is actually growing their skills in life through trail and error.

The story with the coin rolls goes back to 2020 when there was that redistribution like they called a coin shortage and it was during the school year so you could assume that girl was 18 and graduated and after 5 takes in that struggle with the calculator I tell her it is five dollars so she types it on the screen and the machine gives me my change and I thought to myself how is this girl supposed to balance a checkbook because many people go through overdrafts because they Trust the ATM to be up to date when most purchases take about 3 days to resolve but I guess when you are taught what to think and what to memorize instead of how to think you will struggle in life because he won't know how people got to the conclusions that they got to in order to teach it to you at a school
