I had a bad experience when I was younger. Nobody was willing to show me what to do on the job. I didn't know what to do.

Nothing better when the teacher wants to teach and the student wants to learn.

[@delta-KaeBee]

There's an old saying; When the Student is ready, the teacher appears. I think, more accurately, it should be, "...is ready, A teacher will appear.". I say this because, in our world today, ESPECIALLY with the ubiquity of the internet, MANYYYY teachers "will appear"! The KEY is being able to discern WHICH teacher to listen to/learn from. And we don't always have great options of teachers either. So even one that may not have great 'teacher etiquette', among other possibilities, at Least be able to discern, THROUGH THEIR WORKS'/Actions, IF they actually know their trade/skill well, then to be able to ignore, or tolerate, those extra things like personality or quirks, that don't HAVE to impede learning. Now, an idiot with a power tool that talks a great talk WILL try to derail you..... Usually they'll show their true aptitude, just given enough time and freedom, lol. The key is proper observation. When one is truly searching for a knowledgeable & experienced teacher, your gut or intuition will usually tell you which paths or people to avoid. Also, always keep options open 👍 💯

That's more to due with cheap ass employers. If you pay people 15 bucks an hour to build a house you already have under contract you don't want good employees you just want a house up regardless of the quality.

[@Just-Jakes]

@cullenscott2022 Yeah, poor wages are definitely one of the largest factors. There is also just a general lack of interest for younger people to pursue a physical job. Computers and technology have made most of us physically lazier than previous generations. Technology and automation have taken away many positions as well. Also, construction companies rarely offer incentives, additional benefits, or growth opportunities.
