You forgot a few home truths.
The average apprentice and then tradesman is a unmotivated drop kick who probably spends most of his time on 'Facebook and has his phone in his hand most of the day. :?:
They actually think they are entitled to a $3000+ paycheck per week but will do little to earn it. :roll:
The management will then rely on people like me (over 50's) to actually do the work in a safe and timely manner.
The flipside is I will actually help those tradesman who want to learn actual skills.
Gidday Time Warp. yes, u r absolutly right here. I have no argument with this.
However, if a tradesman is working for himself in his small business, AND has been established for a while and makes a profit, , it necessarily follows that he is relying on a satisfied customer base for a source of future work and referalls. This tradesman is definitly not unmotivated drop kick with a phone in his hand as he pulls the feed lever.
these types of business must be the ones that one would seek out when seeking reliable businesses to do work.
this skills issue can be a very complicated topic regarding cause and effect. The best insurance when dealing with a new shop is to actually talk to that businesses customers who have had work done there. more you talk to, the more accurate the information gained.
