One problem is you have shops that only want someone with experance and the best. Then you have the shop that will not give a $h!t and hire anybody. At some point that kid has to learn from someone and if the Sh!t shop is the only one that will hire him and train him, well here is our problem

I have a 15yr old that wants to turn wrinches as his life goal. I can pass on what I know and send him to school and hope they know what they are doing. But not until he can get into a good shop and someone takes him under their wing and pass on the knowledge will he master the art.
