On a practical note: I had a lady working for me for most of last year, selling shoes of course, but once a week she was attending college to do florestry NVQs. She had already done a year, one night a week. Anyway, when she finished her second year in july, she then got a few hours a week in a local florists in her village and was only paid the money her work sold for after costs deducted. Then in October she was back at college one night a week and she left me to work full time in this florists, apparently, she learnt more in a month in the shop than she had at college over 2 years. She left shoes and is now really enjoying the shop but is still i night a week at college.

thanks peeps, although all on hold now! have to wait til my new bubby is born!
so pleased you said that boob, I'm was dying to blurt it out!

My wife has run a very successful florist shop for more than 14 years. She has no qualifications as such, We have had a number of people start who have been to college on courses, but learn most of business in the shop under my wife's supervision, the latest girl Nicky came after 2 years in collage, very eager, now says she has learnt more in 5 moths than the 2 years in collage as do most assistants say. Nothing counts for practical experience.
