But on my older villagers I noticed it took forever to get master builders so now all my young kids do builder first, then farmer, then scientist. On the other hand, my first elder did it the other way around, so nothing's impossible ;\)


Yep, same thing happened to me so I also now start all of them as builders. I ended up with 3 master builders and solved a piece of the puzzle (I won't say which piece so as not to make this a spoiler) pretty early in the game. Just make sure you click on the builder while they are still kids just in case they turn old enough to work while you are not playing it.
