I was 22 when I got my journeyman’s ticket. Got in the union the rest is history. Oldest got his red seal at 24 he’s an industrial mechanic. Youngest manager of lumber yard at 26. Reward and denial works for me
You did well, boys doing well also, they had a good example...
Mine choose a different path but they saw their parents both work two jobs for decades. They saw the benefits from learning a skill or getting a good education and applying it to a career
They all attended private school from grammar school through college and my wife and I paid that bill in full
The reason I didn't get back into old cars until not that long ago.....The boys do very well the daughter has a DR. in front of her name and she has taken us on vacations that my wife and I could never dream of and never took a dime from us, all expenses paid, the best hotels resorts meals cruises the works
