comgratulations bogs he really looks the part and is already a massive creddit to the future and has made my day by seeing a young fella dressed to impress for something other than appearing in court or attending a funeral
the last time my suit wa on i was lead usher at my grandmothers funeral and i was horrified that none of my cousins or my brother had even bothered to wear much black let alone a full suit considering that my grandmother had basicaly brought us all up
if i were a boss of a reputable company such as rolls royce he would have been one of my first choices of acceptance due to his effort of appearance and his family engineering background on the basis that an apprentace's primary objective is to learn and if you train a lad from 16 day one you know exactly where you both stand and he can only learn the propper real life way of doing things rather than the countless hours of checking double checking and checking again that some colleges make you do just to fill the day
i personally have been in college for joinery and lasted only 6 months due to 30 lads in our class and only 1 tutor but while out at work found that most of what i was tought at college was not relevant to the real world
but nowadays companies would rather pick lads who have national recognised qualifications over the likes of me whose done it for the last 12 years much to their dismay the lad they picked cant do the job and i nearley always get a call 2 weeks down the track asking me if i still want the job i have to refuse them on the principle that i was the seacond choice in the first place
i hope he exells in all he does and gets all the chances i missed out on and all inbetween and goes on to be the top dog of whatever he does
