Something that might get deep this. And I'd like it if you guys kept it amicable like you usually do. But I wondered, if your boy or girl ended up being an electrician (not always like yourself EXACTLY perhaps they go down a different route but still end up doing electrics)...

.. would you be proud of them?
 
Yes i would be proud as i've done a lot worse jobs in my life i can tell ya but i'm not qualified yet so i really don' have the right to reply till i've had a few years under me belt but i find it interesting combined with graft and intelligence & you have something to show at the end. I am looking forward to a change of Jobs at 55 years old Fingers crossed passed me part P got me ECS Card & just took me 17th Edition but need to take it again as i only got 50% not 60% I cant wait to get a mates job till i know the ropes i live in sheffield so anyone fancy taking me on Please contact me Danny.
Who are Danny Speddings Electrical Installations if you are looking for a mates job?
 
Yes mate I would. If they were happy cutting their legs off to support their mate in a wheel chair I think I could eventually be convinced (rightly or wrongly).

The thread has spurred from this that I saw on a plasterers forum.

How many would actually be proud if there son became q good plasterer - http://www.plasterersforum.com/threads/how-many-would-actually-be-proud-if-there-son-became-q-good-plasterer.66968/

Checkout how quickly that thread went sour.

I've just read that whole thing, must say there are some utter morons on there Dan !
 
I wouldn't let them,mainly because there are better jobs out there,jobs that will look after you,pay you,when you are ill,build you a better pension,give you bonuses,extra days off,send you on courses & wont worry how long it takes,ecetera ecetera...
