Janica was only three when she first put on skis, but her mother later recalled that she didn't seem to be a natural: "She was falling all the time and getting in the way of all the other kids on the slope.

Low-skilled workers who know little English also have non-financial incentives for wanting to develop these skills, such as wanting to be able to read with their children or converse more easily. However, the chance to earn a higher wage at the end of a class is, without doubt, a serious motivating factor that would be reduced in the presence of a living wage...
