I'd say you just stop making Elders. After all, we have to choose to make them interested in more than one skill.
I sooooo want to have my original oldest couple have the first 2 totems, Tamil has his done, but Mali, my Doctor, just doesn't want to stay on the plants long enough to get that skill level up, and with my food situation I can't stay on her and the Farmers too.
