Question about how we learned camera repair back in the day

I was cleaning out my shop last week and found my old Nikon F2 parts manual from 1978, with grease stains and notes all over it. Three years ago I tried teaching a young guy how to shim a lens mount, and he pulled out a YouTube video instead of letting me show him. Are any of you still seeing apprentices who actually want to learn the hands-on way, or is it all screen tutorials now?

Did you charge him for the data plan or the lesson?
