To the OP. Children will always surpass in doing things what pleases, excites and interests them the most. If the world of engineering mechanical / electrical stimulates him it’s your job to open every door for him to explore and learn, Knowledge is power. On the other hand continued academic education after secondary school striving for a degree is flawed in so many ways, for the pupil and the parents. My degree never earned me a penny but one particular skill given to me in my apprenticeship turned my working class beginnings into middle class life My hands on skills were not the only factor to my success, it was my personality and willingness to work hard, so in today’s environment where kids are just lazy, attitude up, I am entitled too.., yo!! Tweet me babe blighters, it would serve him well to use this to his advantage by being clean, respectful, punctual with an attitude to excel and learn. The world will always need clever bright people, believe me it will behoove one if he is useful. Minerva. Novus ordo seclorum. Brush up on your Latin and you will figure out what I am getting at. I left England 23 years ago because of the rapid decay of a once proud nation, only to find the proverbial greener grass was turning brown where I landed, Thanks to the afore mentioned. Anthony. |

As others have said, there are so many fields of "engineering". In one of my jobs we were encouraged to become experts in one field, then change fields!! It seems that the important thing is to get a recognised qualification in whatever. That may then be used to pry open a door to another field. I think that the main thing is to have a desire/passion to be involved in something, and to learn new stuff. best of luck!! cheers Bill |
