The young have a choice.
1/ Do a four year apprenticeship,then spend several years studying to get their countries qualification, followed by type courses, this then entitles them to long hours sometimes in poor weather conditions for little thanks and a salary that is just fair but not worth the responsibilty that the stress large companies can put upon them.
or
2/ Do a computer course over 3 years then join a firm that pays well lets you work in the dry /keeps you clean and shifts aren`t common.

Which would you choose now if given the chance again?
