The younger workplace void

My sainted old Dad, before my first day on my first job said “Son, if a man’s paying you a day’s pay, give him a day’s work”. Sound advice and will serve anyone well. If your job is rotten or you hate your boss, change jobs. But always, always do what you’re paid to do. Today’s kids feel “entitled”, that somehow the employer “owes” them, rather than being thankful for a job that puts clothes on your back and food on your table. That degree you’ve got in underwater basket weaving or diversity studies/ gender transition ain’t helping you any. Kids refuse to learn a trade, go to college and spend a fortune (and go deep in debt) for a worthless degree and then are absolutely amazed they can’t make $250k a year starting the day after graduation. Got three nephews, (in their 40’s) two with multiple times in “school” learning things they can’t make a living at, wondering why, and constantly taking money from the folks to make ends meet. Neither can hold a job for 6+ months.. The third has no formal training from school after high school, but he DID apprentice and learn a trade. Today he’s a master plumber who runs a crew on major construction. Been with the same company for 20+ years, makes way over $150k yr (and a LOT more in some years. ). He’s invested in the stock market pretty heavily , owns his home and could retire TODAY (at 48) if he wanted to. He plans to work until he’s 60😏

Furthermore, there are four things I tried to instill into my children.

1) Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield.
2) Lose gracefully. Be a gracious winner.
3) When you lose, work harder.
4) Everybody falls down. What matters is what you do when you get up.
