Just thinking that aside from wanting to prevent injuries, it reduces the importance of teaching people anything if they don't stick with it. It may or may not be in someone's jurisdiction to help plan out another person's future for them, it sort of depends how you feel about that, wanting to make a contribution to the trade or whatever, or maybe seeing that such and such person really may not have a lot of options going. :roll: I do know that giving people techniques is not the only thing that will make them stick with the work or not, there is some kind of....spirituality(?) that goes with it. At some point or another, most people seem to encounter the hurdle of remaining in the trade or not, most any manual trades, it occurs. I believe that a lot aren't mature enough to make a totally rational decision about it, not knowing that their feelings are likely going to change more towards the positive with perseverance, and they may well have forgotten their original ambitions. Funny how we fool ourselves. Holding on to people for the advantages to yourself, or at least giving them the impetus to remain in the field, is a skill in itself. Not so much in the old days where there were more formal training systems about that required some commitment to get into, but now people can flop around still making up their minds. The grass is greener is like some exotic perfume under their nose that takes them away.
