In this months Popular Mechanics (Oct. 07) a columnist referred to an article titled "I Can't Do One-Quarter of the Things My Father Can". It got me to thinking of all the things my father and uncles could do that I can't. Also, at the age of 44, I have noticed that most young people out of high school have NO practical skills. I have noticed that many jobs that used to be "starter" jobs for high school kids are now held by retirees. A manager I know said that young kids can't do anything and are too hard to train. So, how are your skills compared to your parents? If you have fewer - why?
Do you have as many useful skills as your parents? If not, why not?
