This is ridiculously way off base. Kids don't want to learn a skill or trade. That means having to wake up and be at work at 7. They want to program a computer or do come kind of content creation (Youtube, TikTok). I know. I'm a small business owner and there aren't any kids that want to learn how to fit and weld something without making $30.00/hr off the bat.

Word of advice stop looking for someone with some experience. Look for character anything can be taught by someone willing to work. People with some experience don’t want to be paid McDonald wages because they don’t have 10 years under their belt yet.


Find a good character individual and see if they have responsibilities or ambitions. Offer them the standard pay but explain it’s a pathway where they would eventually start making that much. Teach them the craft and how to work and you have to be patient. Have them do small things around the shop as they learn. You will have no trouble finding someone at that point.

Are you 90 years old? The entirety of younger generations are not ONLY wanting to do this.

Well that settles it then. Because a handful of people didn't like your pay rate in a specific field at your specific business, that means millions of us are just lazy pieces of shite who don't work hard.

When Walmart pays people $15 an hour to watch me checkout, then you have to realize the pay required to get someone to actually sweat and come home sore from physical work is significantly higher than $15 an hour now.
