If building or healing is the 3rd skill, you will probably not make an elder out of this villager. I never could.

I start my teens with building or healing, then move them to research, then the last skill is farming. They don't seem to fight the skill changes quite so much when I do it this way.

Another way to make sure they stay on task is to make sure they are working on the skills you want them to when you log off the game. Your docs should be studying plants, builders should be fixing huts (if you're other projects are done), then log off quickly. They will gain skill faster if you don't watch them, something along the lines of the 'watched pot never boils' idea.

Good luck!
