[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 39950, member: 692"] Re: Interns, and the use thereof Yes Kristian, you're correct... there was some small-town multi-generation relationships to be considered. That, plus he's a great kid... good attitude, pretty sharp, never late for work... just weak on the "get-er-done" and self confidence categories. I do believe my lead by example management style was some help through the summer. I personally don't think Dave was being too hard on me though... there's no doubt my management skills are work in progress. And... I didn't get to my point (I guess I forgot that detail during my spewing/venting), which is that I agree with Justice's comment that "we would do well to get back to a more of a Master/Apprentice relationship in many fields"... but points # 2 and # 4 don't leave much if anything in the way of incentives for business... and as Dave commented "It's a huge liability issue". I suspect that most would like to see the development of jobs aplenty in the US... but that project might not be shovel ready to pour the footings for the foundation. [/QUOTE]
