I just asked the two young adults in my home about the challenges they face in the growing divide.
The youngest couldn't find part time work in the area that met his school schedule. So, he took it upon himself to do odd jobs for the aging community here. From simply raking leaves to cleaning out garages and lawn maintenance. He's made enough to purchase a new RTH crossbow package. Mind you he does use my riding mower, weedeater and hand tools.
The oldest was facing a similar issue, his career choice fell apart and couldn't find any work within any reasonable distance. He asked my tattooist if he could hang out and learn the art. The answer was yes. I did have to lay out some cash to get him a drawing tablet to practice on his computer with. But he was given a nice used tattoo gun, power supply and pedal. He is now looking into graphic arts courses at a local college and can pay for the courses himself.
