My son is 18 he wanted to join the army and fight for queen and country in far off lands but they turned him down on a very minor medical issue, after 12 months off re-evaluations including seeing an army colonel they still would not let him in, in the 12 months he was waiting he completed a years IT course at the local college.
So after being turned down for the army he decided to do somthing more practical and signed up fro an electrical apprenticeship and i even go him a job with a company, unfortunately 9 months in he was laid off due to lack off work so he has been trawling the jobsites and even the college have been sending out liturature on his behalf so far he has applied to 30 companies (driving round dropping CVs on desks)with about 5 replies and 2 interviews the 2 interviews never materilised to anything due to them not having the work to justify the £100 a week wage for an apprentice,
So as he has not got a job he cannot continue on the apprenticeship scheme so he is out off work and off the course however he contacted some friends and has secured several days a week work fitting kitchens and he is now also looking into several electrical courses he has enquired about and is using the money made from the kitchen fitting to pay for them.
lazy workshy youth that he is
