I am a former small business operator, and still in touch with many of my former business owner friends. They bemoan the lack of good younger employees. There are more than one or two reasons for quality. … “trophy’s for everyone” et al.

I believe the biggest problem is that there is a shortage of employee participants entirely.

Lastly, not to many young people can stand doing things they don’t really want to do, for very long.

The evolution of privilege. (That’s a Howard Theory)
