[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 257196, member: 6969"] I guess I share a similar opinion to the OP and must be a similar age having been in the industry for 33 years. My take is really quite simple now. I plan to retire at age 60 tops, earlier if I can find a way to afford it. So at most I have another 11 years to go. I just hope I can bear all the constant changes and to some extent nannying until that time. I really don't know what I would advise to a school leaver now. The range of options seems rather limited. IF you can go straight from school to an apprenticeship as I did, then go for it, but those are few and far between now. We seem to have an education system that seems to think the majority should do A levels and go to university, which would be great if there were enough jobs for graduates to support that flawed line of thinking.
