DS1 is 17. He's not particularly academic (he did get 7 GCSEs at grade C but he's not sure how!) and he's currently just starting his second year of 6th form doing a Btec Media course.
He wanted to do it mostly because he couldn't think of anything else to do, but he also has a part time job in the evening (Dominos pizza!) and he has found he enjoys working and earning. He also resents the new 'conditions' school have placed on the 6th form..not allowed to work more than 10 hours a week, compulsory work experience (he pointed out to them he's been working for a year, but he still has to) etc etc
WWYD? Has anyone had a teen sign on for temping/agency work? I have no idea how to go about helping him make the transition and much as I love him I don't want him doing nothing except 2 hours a dominos a night!
Realistically he was unlikely to find a job using Btec Media so I can see why he might be as well leaving now, but not sure how to go about it. Just wondering how to help him!
