No A-levels? Have a free course.

No you're probably right WM. But it may be that a whole section of our youth, currently coming up, may decide on a different path in life.

My cousin has two children who chose to apprentice in his business (design, carpentry, signs, event construction, general construction etc). But they are hardly the norm. I suppose that goes for most of my family too, on both sides we are engineers, plumbers, electricians, artisans and mechanics.
