Thanks all - perhaps I am being too pessimistic. But when you see an accountant putting his 2 sons through the sausage machine and you think - you know - when he steps off the wheel that's half a job each for his kids. I am speaking from a perspective where I know lawyers who have been on short weeks for 18 months, other accountant friends work themselves to the bone hardly seeing their families (despite the quite strict laws we have in the EU) and "newly minteds" are spewing out in their 000s.
One educational professional said to us that the future is with the "creatives" - thank God little'un is just that with his sculpting and his art.
Kids - they're a worry
