[QUOTE="traineefarmer, post: 7729849, member: 89974"] A 14 year old is hardly a child. I bet there aren't many on here that grew up on family farms and got to their teens without being roped in at busy times! Any work ethic in young people is being eroded by the government's insistence that children should remain in education/training until they are 18. Academia is not for everyone and those that chose to mix a job or apprenticeship with education are unable to save or afford financial independence further destroying their motivation. I've seen so many young people who haven't got what it takes for good grades and qualifications, but have definitely got what they need to progress in the world of work - intuition, honesty, ambition, initiative. But they are held back and demoralised, forced to complete valueless (to them) college courses when they could be out forging ahead in a trade. [/QUOTE]
