[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8112391, member: 86168"] both our kids knew exactly what they wanted to do, from about 5, one a reception teacher, and she is, the other, farming, which he is. Neither ever expressed an interest, in anything else. And yet, we know of plenty youngsters, that have no idea of what they want to do, aged late teens, early twenties. Gap years, are increasingly popular, and l don't see to much of a problem with them, but, by the time kids have done their 'A'levels, or whatever they are called now, taken a gap year, gone to uni, they are 23/24 yrs old, some stay at uni, and do a further qualification, 26/27 years old. That is one hell of a hole in a 'working' career, and a hell of a shock to the system, to start work at that age, even worse, if they have no real type of career, chosen. I feel to many kids are directed to uni, when, for them, an apprentice ship from 16, would be more beneficial to them, and the greater society. And to many degrees, are completely irrelevant to a working career. But then, I'm just a miserable old git, so what do l know. [/QUOTE]
