Maybe not the case I don't know how old you are but to put things in perspective when I left school my year consisted of 120 pupils of which only 3 went on to study A levels I don't know how many of the 3 went on to uni.
Great news on your lads results :y

it was cse's in my day, wasnt good enough for a levels and i wasnt bothered as i had an apprenteship lined up 5 months before i left school. lots more oppurtunities for careers then in the 70s than today, lot of manufacturing jobs available in this country compared with today.

I'm not sure of the exact figure, but I believe that when I left school in 1976 only about 4% of pupils went on to university.
I believe that figure is currently about 44%......The last Labour government wanted 50% to go to university. How times change. :-?

i cant see how a lot of them have got good grades going by some i have worked with on site, cant add up simple figures in their heads and you have to explain to them 2 or 3 times how to do the easiest tasks.

Thats the way it was in those days I left school on the Friday and started my job as an apprentice prescision toolmaker the following Monday. Jobs where abundant in those days you could finish on friday and be in a new job the following week

Congrats to you and your lad, not the easiest of things to accomplish with everyone fighting for places before the price hike comes in :y

funny thing is he got a text at 7.30 this morning from uni telling him he was in , then got a letter through the post at 9.30 saying the same thing , so going to get his results at college, which weren't officialy released until 10.00 was a bit of an anti-climax .

My lad has just left Bolton Uni after three year and that has been the making of him.

I left Brunel Uni in 2007, got first job out of that working for Mobile Content & Entertainment company, it does open doors. But I do get annoyed when you see people saying they cannot get jobs, saying "I've applied to about 15 companies"
Errr, I spammed my CV to a couple of hundred before getting my first job out of Uni, its since led me to Sky.
What course is he doing, its really worth doing a placement year, when it comes to interviews post-Uni, if you have at least some experience in work place coupled with your paperwork, it really helps. :y
