[quote=Anonymous]Following this because I have a kid who may not even graduate from high school. We had a plumber with a gas license do work at our house recently. He was accompanied by three young trainees. They were remarkable young men. One of them was particularly engaging and I told him so. He said that he had been taught to work with the public at a local hardware store. The plumber shared with me that all of them had some kind of LD such as ADHD but he said they were all fantastic employees and on the path to success. We also discussed whether you can LOVE your job when you are in a skilled trade. The plumber said that you can and told me that some of his trainees do as well. I was really heartened by the discussion. I have a Phd and loved school but it is absolutely not for everyone.[/quote]
