My life story: When I left school, I never studied and was a bit of a windgat joller, my folks told me to get a job and grow up, so my dad offered that I do an aprrenticeship in the factory, where he was a partner (Shopfitting) I hit the bench and started to lear how to become a carpenter, did all the k@k jobs as I said previously. Did that for 2 years, got promoted into the drawing office, another 2 years later I was promoted to Store Deisgn Consultant, 4 years later I was head hunted by one of the biggest retailers in SA at the time (With my dad and his partners blessing). I have now been with said retailer for 8 years, now the biggest company in the world! I use my skills everyday, appreciate the value of hard work, and the technical skills learnt taught me to be able to solve big world problems, I am happy where I work and they look after me very well. So roll up your sleevs do some hard work and the rest will follow. Paying for your own studies whilst being an appie is the way it works in the real world, nothing un-toward here, if you not adding value, go away. This thread is about an oportunity for youngsters to potentially become something in their lives.
