what happens when three year old "snowflakes" start to design things

And have you seen how awkwardly they hold a pen/biro?

BTW, one of my basic skills as a youngster was to build a cycle wheel out of a hub, a rim and a handful of spokes. Anyone?

Yep. Remember watching my dad do that, wide eyed then him getting me to do it.

I had to put modern apprentices through hand tool courses as they couldn’t use a screwdriver,

the best bit they come in on higher pay than the old boy gets after doing it properly for 20 years..... we had one (No BS) I can't get this bolt undone, he was trying with a socket 3mm bigger than the fastening

I remember interviewing a woman who was applying for a management role in my team.
She was already employed by the company (who were desperate to have more women in senior roles) so had to give her the interview.

Mid to late 20s fresh out of university.
I asked her which part of her experience (she felt) made her suitable for the role.
Her reply “I have a MBA”.
I politely explained that it was worthless without experience.
