Some excellent advice here which we will take on board. I'm very glad I started this thread as all replies have been most helpful. Thank you all so much. I do agree that my GS initially needs to work for somebody else in some sort of business to see how it all works. I did know about the Princes Trust and have told him about it. And the idea about learning about accounts is excellent. I agree that he is, at this stage, a bit unrealistic but I want to encourage him as he is adamant this is the route he wants to go down. I have also said to him that he could go to university later on if he changed his mind. I will start another thread in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future to let you all know how he gets on. (Biglouis I love the sound of your passion for antiques - that's an area I know a little bit about and agree it's fascinating - something I'd love to do if I had time and energy - sadly lacking these days). My GS's main passion is sport, both as a participant and spectator. He is also very interested in cars.
