I've been on and on at my 15 year old who has a year left. He is nowhere near as bright as the oldest who's leaving now. He is farm,farm,farm,work work work. (he puts me to shame at times!!)Make sure you don't mess up any exams or u will regret it like I did in some of my GCSEs
At the end of the day it's a few months pain for a life's worth of gainI've been on and on at my 15 year old who is nowhere near as bright as the oldest. He is farm,farm,farm,work work work. (he puts me to shame at times!!)
I have got him doing 2 extra nights after school but just have keep drumming it in to him. If he doesn't get the grades in english,maths and science he will have to stay on and do the exams again, as all school leavers after this year have to get at least garde C or above in those subjects. That means he won't be earning as much, won't be doing what he enjoys and could cost him thousands in lost wages.
Hi Lewis.I worked on an arable farm with my dad and got experience driving machines there but there wasn't really any work there for me so I now work on a dairy farm doing mainly tractor work and the odd bit of cow work. I leave school in about 3 weeks time once my exams are finished and I'm just on cash in hand and the moment as I only do weekends and holidays and in the holiday I can put a fair amount of hours in and last weekend we where silaging and I put a lot in. I'm 16 and I'm wondering what sort of wages should I be on as I'm going to be full time all of the summer before collage (level 3 diploma in fixing tractors) and should I ask to be put on the books? Start paying tax and things? What should I do? What do other people do and what's the best thing to do? Just as I don't want any hassle with not paying tax and things. Thanks in advance
If you've been there a year already, then personally, I think you should be able to approach him about your employment. I'd call it 'going on the books'.Do I call it going on to the books?
No sh*t I did it at Newton rigg everyone just pee'd about the paperwork was all pointless if I'd done engineering I'd of proberly learnt something usefullGood choice doing ag engineering over an agricultural course. Wish I had done that because if you grow up on a farm the courses are a a tad.....basic shall I say
The lad that I know said that all he does on his Agricultural course is stuff they already do at home he doesn't learn in detail about crops or cows it's just really basic
IME the amount learnt at colage had a lot to do with the amount of listening and paying attention rather than how good the place actually isNo sh*t I did it at Newton rigg everyone just pee'd about the paperwork was all pointless if I'd done engineering I'd of proberly learnt something usefull
