I would love my son to do electrics with me. But rather selfishly as he could do all the hard work. He has however become a high flyer around computers/servers/software design at 100k per annum. I am proud of my Son for the person he is, very kind and polite, intelligent all that you would wish for in terms of character. The career is the natural corrollary of having the right attitudes in life and the can do ethos. Whatever he decides(ed) to do I will always be proud of him. My daughters... I have tried to get them interested but nothing doing which is fair enough. More than anything I want to see them working at anything earning for themselves, it grieves me to see them sucking off the state. But still I am proud of all my daughters (six) they are fabulous, but like any parent I do nag...don't know why really because it's just "yeeesss Dad" and nothing ever happens. Maybe time will do what I can not.
