Too many graduates, many with useless degrees that employers don't want, are chasing too few jobs.
We've got a lot in common, I too have two sons and one was managing his own shop at 19yrs. And he hated school and was written off by many teachers. Its the character and determination of the person that counts so much and not everyone is academic but they are equally capable
