More young people need to learn a trade. It’s a slog to begin with but there’s no limit to the earning potential because of the demand for skilled tradesmen.

Though of course the problem there is once demand goes down, the earnings will be depressedOriginally Posted by Marc Overmars
But either way, we should be doing more in terms of teaching skilled trade
When will demand go down?
Re: Private schools? Do they actually provide a better education? They seem to teach people how to pass exams and the people they’ll schools spit out seem to do better in life either because of the old boys network or the prestige which comes from having been to “an Eton”. Are the people actually more competent? John Cleese said something about how people are taught to talk confidently about things they don’t understand. Which is a pretty useful skill if you want to get ahead. But they’re not more competent and making better decisions. We’ve seen how having old Etonian PMs has worked out
The reason demand for skilled labourers like Plumbers are high is because we don’t train enough of them. Forty years ago, Plumbers, Lorry Drivers etc earned peanuts but because there was an over correction in getting more people into academia it went the other way.
School is about teaching you how to pass exams, how much learning you do is dependent on how intellectually curious you are in order to understand not just the what but the how and why. I don’t think we necessarily give enough credit to rote learning.
A bit of a shock about George Baldock, not in any way trying to be funny but he was a stalwart in my fantasy team one season so I looked out for him on MotD
only 31... RIP
Loads of Northern Lights photos on social media this morning.
I was quite disappointed last time that I missed it, but I did look out last night and…nothing.
I did get one photo in which there’s a very faint red glow but all the photos you see online…it didn’t look like that, it’s just cameras being clever
Something very strange happened there, found dead in his swimming pool. All very Brian Jones
Probably the vaccine, innit?
I was going to say he was murdered, but I guess it all amounts to same thing
So risk of being serious, Initial coroners report states cause of death was drowning. Which unless he was unable to actually swim, would suggest drugs or alcohol in his system
