They're always keen to point out that "mummy and daddy" didn't pay for their education, as if parents providing for their kids is something to be ashamed of. Yeh, I never understand that whole "never did me any harm" attitude. Surely offering your kids the best opportunities available should be a prerogative?!

Rugster is a man's man when it comes to dining. In this new world order where experts are to be frowned upon I could see Ruggy starring in a show called "Michelin Stars Are For Wankers and Chefs Know f**k All". He prepares a simple dish on each show, such as old toast or leftover takeaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have decent qualifications which ended up being useful for me but if I was to go back to school leaving age I'd learn some some sort of skill/trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that and it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Everyone back then was banging on about getting a trade for yourself and how you could do what ever you wanted to in life if you had it but it's not exactly that much fun.

Boostin' Kev Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Not much work is fun at least a trade can offer some different opportunities imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Having a job title that completely exaggerates the requirements of the job. "Multi-skilled service operator" = allowed to work on the checkout AND the fag counter at the local Co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Not much work is fun at least a trade can offer some different opportunities imo. I suppose so, it has some perks and is enjoyable when the weather is good. My back and arms were getting hurt when I was only 26 though so I needed to really think about what I was doing as old age could set in and I would have nothing to fall back on so going back to uni seemed like a good idea.
