learned that construction was not the place for him (I wanted him to see what he had to look forward to if he didn't get an education and the lesson was learned).

I find that comment very rude. My father has been in construction for years. He also has been to college and university. He left school with 12 olevels, and 2 a levels. He has completed 3 open university degree courses with his lowest grade being a 2:1.

So the construction trade isn't just for 'thickos' as you seem to think it should be.

People on here moan about PAs/Secretaries being stereotyped yet we do it ourselves on other careers.
