If he's really interested to learn and do this he'll be fine.....I've found lots of younger folks just lack any curiosity/interest in cars, boats, motorcycles, airplanes, etc....I really don't know what turns these kids on!??
I wish I could say that I didn't quit any jobs when I was a kid because they were too hard. Or that I was a good, diligent worker at every job. But I can't.
Sometimes we learn as much or more from our failures as we do from our successes. Good for you, harleyman, for giving him a chance!
Our oldest Grandson has lived with us for a few years due to his Dad's death and our daughter's dereliction. He will be 16 next Tuesday and will be a strong man. He was out re-tiling his fire pit last night. In my opinion we all need something positive in life. I think your Nephew will remember the opportunity, harleyman.
It seems the younger generation has lost all sight of work ethic. Everyone expects that $15 an hour when they have a $7 an hour skill set. I taught my kids at a young age that no matter what line of work you are in at the time, be the best at it, and they have made me extremely proud. I hope you can find that one that will take the ball and run!
