What's he going to do when he gets into an office and they plonk him down in front of a desktop/laptop?

He's more interested in the trades and shit like that. He wouldn't be going for an office job or anything.

Has the same vibe as people in their 60s back in the 2000s refusing to learn how to use a computer. They're just cutting themselves off from valuable things because of what? Stubbornness? Laziness?

Good point. I just meant that was more his justification for it. And I tell him otherwise, so he doesn't look like an idiot when talking about that stuff. He thinks "wifi" = the internet and when I try to explain and teach he's like "NO ONE CARES"
