Is this going to be like the useless careers advice we got in secondary school?
Only useful if you want a minimum wage job or if you want to be pushed onto the latest fad (ie useless) government training scheme?

Complete waste of time. Lets go back to the old system, where the lower orders just did what their parents did, and, more importabtly, as they were told!

I watched Brazil over the weekend. It seemed more relevant than when I first saw it.

A mate of mine wanted, at the age of seven, to be a fire engine when he grew up... Apparently he just enjoyed running down the road shouting "Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo" at the top of his voice.  _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now.

I agree. Kids will change their minds between 7 and 11. Try telling them that the debt will be worth it when they will owe more than their parents earned this year. The whole disabled career support from local government is disjointed and muddled. Plus getting a grant takes far too long. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
