Totally given up with students. The last boy I had messaged me this morning after 9am to say he was sick (funny that on FB at midnight). I was paying well and offering to drive home. 3 times he's let me down over the last few weeks and its no benefit to me.
Some of these lads are so flimsy, drinking red bull and crisps, no drive. Only like to do the nice jobs. Only want to mess with sheep. Even though they have no other income this is a good job. This last lad shows little lust for life has no passion for finding a job really. Not a typical farm worker in my eyes. Husband didnt think much of him. Prev boy was good but not a lot of strength there and once he had him fencing he was so knackered he didnt want to come back.
Thinking of looking for a retired gent. Someone who likes to get out, do some small husbandry and rest work on trees/hedge plants. Help out on veg and garden. An all rounder. Plus they can earn some nice cash.
Is this going to be difficult? How do you find people to help out? Is there any hope?
