[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 7777480, member: 1951"] I think it would help a lot if all kids had do a couple of years work, between leaving school and going to Uni. Much as we used to have to have at least a couple of years working in farming before going to college.. I am certain it would give them a far better idea of what they like to do in the world before starting a course with zero future. Many would also have a bit on money in their pockets and I suspect quite a few would give up on the idea of going to Uni. For many in civil engineering I think it should be compulsory to have a solid grounding in building and it would help avoid cock ups like Grenfell etc. I know a couple of kids who did sports therapy one dropped out, the other despite having worked with several top end football clubs has now joined his dad in the building trade [/QUOTE]
