> No kids today seem to have any desire to be creative or make anything with their hands. If much rather have a job where I can assemble shit all day with my hands for $45K than a job where I look after 20 people and sit in a small office behind a computer screen for $55K.

^

drop those numbers lower and see how you feel, say a factory worker whom assembles things with his hands makes 35k a year ( which i think is a more accurate number ) and the guy in the office overseeing 20 people makes 55k. what one would you pick if you had the option to do so.
