Why don't they have a job?? So that they can concentrate on their studies, get into Uni and get their dream job straight out.
Why don't they drive? So they can concentrate on their studies, not date, be constantly controlled and monitored by their parents so they can get into Uni and get that great job straight out.
Oh how I fear for the future.....  |
A lot depends on the upbringing, my 3 eldest all started work at 14, my Eldest dropped out of school after yr11 due to bullying, all his so called mates said he'd be a bum working in fast food.
He turned 21 in August, manages a furniture/electrical retail outlet for a company he's been with just on 12 months and is part way through his first house build.
The people who said he'd fail and finished school have gone nowhere.
School isn't everything its cracked up to be.
