The ones that bother me are the kids working at the fast food place where they tell you its 18.25 so ya give them a 20 dollar bill and a quarter to avoid coins and they hand you the quarter back and tell you they cannot do that.....common, take the quarter and gimme 2 dollars back..... "Them" uhhh that's not correct....:confused:

Unfortunately been there, I've seen that!
I had an employee, (high school graduate,) That refused to learn to use the metric system because it was too hard to add in mm! He couldn't add fractions either. I don't think I ever had an employee that could use trig. How do you layout a square corner in construction, say on a roof? 3,4,5! How hard is it? Now we know where pols went to school.

When I was hiring (I had a small electrical contracting company) I gave the kids a basic test. I handed them a tape measure and a piece of 2x4 and asked them to measure it. Another question asked them to find the center point between two walls. These were high school grads looking for construction jobs. Many of them could not use the tape measure nor could they answer the other question. Trig? Ask those kids and they would likely say thats a small branch on a tree.
