alot of folks on this site can blame themselves for it as well. How many parents pushed for higher education. it's funny how most of the immigrants that do all the work have less than a average of grade 6 education.
Farms getting bigger is also part of the problem. most of the industrial workers came off a farm, those were the children who had to learn a little of mechanics, carpentry, electrical and anything else that had to be done on the farm to be self reliant.
Today everyone thinks they have to have bigger equipment, bigger pay check, all the toys, etc.. Who taught them this. I look at the farmers today that tell there 1 or 2 children(instead of 4-6) " you go to university and get an education not work on the farm ". where I live the BTO'S have 1 or 2 children and they are not even allowed to work on the farm. School work only. My nephew went to work for one and when the kid graduated he came to work in the shop for a month before he went to university. didn't even no where to find the broom to sweep the floor after breaking a coffee cup.
this is the fault of farmers as much as anyone else. Had they kept the farm manageable with smaller equipment and family workers the extra children learnt and went and got jobs off the farm in manufacturing. Now it is hard pressed to find a child that stays on the family farm because they have been discouraged there whole life from doing so.
Friend of mine has a 14 year old son (he's a bee keeper). Hirer's 2 immigrants every year. says he will not force his child to be a bee keeper. if he wants to when he's 18 he will teach him. Too late by then to teach a child to work. Now he's 17 and nothing but a trouble maker, drives around shooting deer off the road on private property. This is a so called good Christian family (NOT IN MY OPINION). when true Christian values left this country so did work ethic. Bible says "if you don't work you don't eat" when people believed this they make sure there child has everyday skills.
sorry for long post and getting off in a different direction.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
