That’s what I was trying to say. In the 60s every kid in our town couldn’t wait to be old enough to pick strawberries and raspberries and cucumbers etc. along side the migrant workers. We wanted money to buy clothes and save for college with.
Now none of the kids do that. Their mothers
shuttle them to soccer practice instead and they have no work ethic.
A time gone by.

I agree with your evaluation of kids in 2019 (We cannot even find HS boys who want to “get in” the baled hay from field to barn, as everybody wanted to when I was young.)
BUT
There is NOBODY “in their right mind” who would hire typical American teenagers to feed/move/handle/load HOGS. = Doing that job is difficult & DANGEROUS, unless you are strong/knowledgeable/experienced.
(Get “knocked down” in the pen with full-grown swine & “You’re FINISHED”.)
