Earn your priviliges. It isn't impossible.


Just be sure that the things one needs to do to earn the privileges
are revalent to modern ham radio.

Why should ham radio be different than other activities? Most of the
things we do to gain privileges in this world are not relevant to the
privilege itself.

Oh, so everything else is messed up, so ham radio should be messed up
too? Even if I thought it were true, that would still be the worst
argument I have heard yet, ROTFLMAO!



It does not mean that things are messed up. It is simply a fact that a
very effective way to motivate people to do something that they don't
want to do is to tie it to a privilege that they very much want.
Parents do it all the time.

So treat prospective hams like errant children?

No not at all. Let's use a workplace example instead. Many people, even if
they like their jobs, do have elements of the work they don't like. However
they get a reward or privilege in the form of money for performing those
elements.
