Not so easy. The place advertises wood-fuelled oven(s) (kind of appropriate as the property borders an old clearcut) but the thing is the place is in the middle of nowhere, or at least feels that way when you drive through, which is why one is surprised it is so busy (or even had enough legitimate business to keep going in the first place). I'd suspect they'd have difficulty hiring as the young population lives quite a ways away and it'd be a long drive out (and transit goes nowhere near).

The seduction of early and easier money from non-college-going males working full-time has gained in recent decades, all while the fruits of delayed gratification are not as widely appreciated as before.
What's "recent"? This has been said for decades (heard about it when I was an undergrad 40+ years ago) up north. Maybe the difference was young men (without resources to pay for tuition - as cheap as it was at the time - & expenses worked for a few years (usually in the industry they intended to work as educated professionals) to fund their studies (many were the first in their family to go to university). In the past 2+ decades, what's interesting is that traditionally male-dominated fields (e.g., engineering) of tertiary education has become female-dominated.

Though lawyers can be replaced. Reviews of legal stuff was farmed out to the Philippines and India due to lower legal costs. Now that's even been replaced by computers.
