True!

I paid my own tuition, and partied hard enough my first year I had to write a letter of apology to the University and read it out loud to the Dean of admissions.
It was a pretty embarrassing moment for me, and I straightened up.
Some people are born responsible, I wasn't one of them .

It’s pretty sad , the kids coming out of trade school these days , have no motivation to learn , and can’t do basic things , and simple math that they should of learned about in trade school , I’ve had to let so many apprentices go because of those reasons.

What’s this simple math you speak of ???

The son of a good friend of mine wanted to go in the military after high school. He failed the math portion of the ASVAB. They asked me if I could tutor him in math. I said sure. He did not know how to do simple multiplication or division. I am talking about 5x5, or 60 divided by 6. I asked him how he passed math in high school, he said, "calculators, the teachers told us to use them"!!!! He quit after one lesson and found a job...

That’s incredibly sad.

You'd think HS would have the sense to get at least enough in to get you into the military for crying out loud.

Incredibly. I was blown away. I told his mom, and she bawled to me on the phone, which got me choked up. I've known him his whole life.

He is a good kid, hard worker, and dependable. He has been working for the same company for a couple years; one of those companies that puts out barrels and signs for road construction. He is going to truck driving school also. I would take him over 90% of the kids his age, if I had the need, and the job was not too technical. He will be fine.

My grandad hauled out logs with mules, after cutting trees with a cross-cut saw, in the 1930's. Wow. That would be work!

I have no photo evidence, sorry, but I think some of my family do. I'll try to dig that photo up.

My Grandpa did as well. He had a team of horses and once the swamp in the back of the farm froze over, it was his job to make firewood and keep the wood box’s full around the farm for the year. He used a double bit axe mostly. He would haul in logs on a sled. I love listening to his stories about it. No photos here either..

Different times for sure - there weren't many options back in the day.

My great-grandad went to work on a Weyerhaeuser falling crew in 1921. Grandad went to work with him in Camp #9 in 1940.
Dad went to work with grandad in 1967. I went to work with dad in 1989.

Most of my family tree is full of gamblers, horse thieves, and organized crime members. Haha
Those who weren't went to scary law enforcement agencies or Maintenance departments.

That’s a great family history in the woods! Very cool!

Kudos to your family and you Jacob.
We didnt have big timber here, so it was farming or finding a job in the public sector.
My grandpa got out of farming and took a job in the poultry industry in 1963.
Georgia is the #2 poultry producer in the WORLD. USA is #1. GA can hold #2 position by itself if thats any indication of how big it is here.
That job was a cake walk for him compared to walking behind a mule trying to farm cotton in red clay that only grows rocks and weeds.
Luckily, he was a diesel mechanic in the navy in WW2, so he learned how to work on machinery.
I guess the mechanical genes somehow got bestowed upon me.
I have a REALLY bad case of ADD, and saws are MUCH cheaper than tractors or old cars to work on, so this just gives me an outlet to calm down and focus on.
Also helps in having firewood for the winter.

Still interesting IRA.
Isnt that what we all are here in the US?
Misfits, rebels, malcontents, criminals?
Somebody missed it somewhere along the way when they labelled us.
We arent a free country because we were NICER, MORE POLITE, AND MORE GIVING than other nations.
We are where we WERE because we were MEANER, RUDER, HUNGRIER, AND HAD BEEN DEPRIVED more than any other nation that we made up the gist of combined.
I personally feel like that fundamental principal has been lost.
