Unfortunately we seem to live in a worls where people think t escools are the only source of education. Remember those three girls 12, 14 and 16 all with kiddies, The mum complained that the scools hadn't educated her children well enough.
My parents encouraged us to learn more and more, even today I am sat in a training course in Liverpool(just finished my exercises before everyone else in teh group so I thought I'd check Accyweb
) to get another technical skill so my job can be split across three areas making me more valuable to the company as I can be moved where the demand is greatest. I asked to do it because I enjoy learning.
