I have a friend who's boy just graduated from high school. He is just like a million other grads, no training in the real world. I'm sure video game are more fun then working.
He wants to come do some work for me, so I'm just trying to figure out how to make it fun too. I got books, but I think he needs hands on stuff first.
I figured go over some basic electricity, how to use a meter for capacitors, resistance, voltage.
I could explain wire sizes and maybe show him how to silver solder copper connections. I could burn a day around the shop and see where it goes.
But what do 18 year old kids want to learn? He says he wants to learn a trade, but I know the school system has not prepared him to work.
For me back then would have been how to make some money. I've run across some kids that have drive and work hard but those would be the exception. This is your typical teenager who the school system just popped out, without a clue on what to do next if collage is not in the cards.
Thanks
