I see the same thing with kids not wanting to work. I'm fortunate that all my kids seem to have a good work ethic. They've all grown up with me busting my ass to take care of them and see their mom work as well. I often reward them for work, not commensurate with that they do at times but I want to reinforce that.
My boys are the opposite. It's damn near impossible to keep them from wanting to help and learn. Sometimes I just want to get it done! I hope they stay that way in whatever they choose to do in life.
So many factors at play in regards to why kids won't or don't want to work, in any profession. Lots of theories as to why.....
I do think a lot of it starts at home and also comes from outside influences as well. Social media, reality tv (an effin joke if you ask me), poor examples for teachers etc. It's an uphill battle.
