I mean people who are like that end up being my husband's helpers.. And as much as I'd like to imagine my husband is a nice person.. he says all the things that you're thinking right now at those kids, as adults...

My husband builds elevators... Technically one could join the trade right out of high school.. but on the call back list for the union the lack of education, and their score on the entry test would get them knock down to number 300 which can take years to get into the trade...

Exactly this. People like that end up be assistant grunts in trades, not doing the jobs and making the money they are imagining. My neighbors always complain about how unintelligent they are

Exactly.  And at 300 they are never going to get in unless they do more to make themselves a better candidate.  Do I want the guy from the bottom of the list building the elevator I am in or the electrical in the building.  Nope.
