There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Sadly, they just don't make kids like they used to.
I'll run across the occasional responsible youngster and am always glad to help them/show them simple mechanical resolutions to problems or how to safely use machine tools.
Unfortunately, the vast majority live in a fantasy hybrid video game/social media world and think that integrity is the name of a shampoo.
Makes me really appreciate the responsible members of the younger generation.

In this day and age (at least out out here), that type of stuff isn’t a good indicator of the quality of the kid. The positive things kids tell me they do, often impresses the hell out of me, and then they’ll do or say some dumb-ass crap that has you shaking your head, just crazy. This kid in particular was just alright in high school and now 10+ years later a solid young man and a successful lawyer. Just saw him in the gym by school before Covid.
What we really need is better guidance of these kids by their parents & I’ve seen such a void there. Going back to the origin of this thread, many times we are teaching them stuff that really their parents should, but the parents don’t want to take the time or they don’t have the interest.
Goofy but rewarding profession.
