[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in the trades and I see this with our gen z’ers. They show up late, don’t want to work hard, spend too much time on their phones, etc., but that’s not the worst part.

The worst part is that they can’t even do simple math and reading. WHY would you work here if you can’t even do arithmetic!!?[/quote]

I have family in trades and this was also an issue with Millenials (eg, math skills).  They couldn’t handle fractions. Neighbor in finance complained of the same thing 20 years ago. The problem is worse now[/quote]

Yeah right.  Sure.  My kid was doing multivariate calculus in high school and took a bunch of advanced math and statistics and data science courses in college and yet nobody would hire him when he graduated.  Problem was absolutely not lack of math skills, it's because the tech sector is oversaturated with H1B workers and they don't want to hire Americans.  And meanwhile the subreddits in his field are full of commentary from button pushers who don't even code or do math.  So for lack of a job, he's on to grad school now.  [/quote]
Your kid is not the type of kid to go into the trades. Trust me, the future tradies aren’t taking multivariable calculus.[/quote]
