and it took them months to find someone to cut and bale.

but apparently this new generation doesn’t want to do hard work (and they pay well)

The irony of calling out kids for not wanting to do the work you don't want to do either is pretty amusing.

Some people just aren't cut out for back breaking work (myself included). I did construction for a few summers in high school, and that was enough to tell me how important studying is, because I didn't want to wreck my body for someone else's dime.

I've done the work before. I can't do it now due to injuries.

But go ahead and keep making wild assumptions.
