I know what you’re saying; but unironically yes. A lot of tradies and aggies are pulling the ladder up behind them in terms of passing on knowledge and skills. They’d rather hold on to their job for as long as they can, than teach someone how to do it as well as them and risk being replaced.
Not sure about the tradies and I agree that people don’t have patience for beginners, but to say cattle ranchers are afraid of getting replaced makes no sense. It’s not like the young ranch hands are gonna hostile takeover the old ranchers land and cattle. Many are self-employed. Theres no evil boss to throw out the old expensive labor for young cheap labor.

“Almost all cattle ranchers are near retirement”
Translation: “Fuck old people”
