It is either another source of revenue stream or the quality of life they have accepted to live.
Either way, the well does run dry eventually and at that time, they need to look themselves in the mirror.
I see the same in my industry. An individual will go out as a fire watch paired with a HSE professional and in two weeks, SHAZAM!!!! He knows it all! He wants to be a HSE professional. Apprentice programs seem to be a thing of the past and it is a shame that some of the younger generation have lost the work ethic this country was founded on. We have become an "instant gratification" culture in need of "immediate results".
The best education I have ever had was being tied at the hip of an elder working for 10.00 / day on the back of a boat and in a pipe yard.
Wish I had a solution!
