Workforce now days ? Is it just me ?

Agreement... Is there a local high school/ college / trade school with actual construction trade training...?
One thing that is difficult is I do so many different things it takes time to learn it all or even enough to cut a person loose .
So it costs me quite a bit before someone can actually not become a hardship .
I understand the process .
The last guy I made the mistake of bumping his wage from 16-18 hr because he had a good attitude !
From there it was all down hill !!
In the end he told me he was not gonna push a broom the rest of his life !!
I thought he had potential ?
As I said he lost the attitude of gratitude !!!
I'm going to call a local church and talk to a pastor I know and see if he knows anyone , as suggested .
