My wife is a secondary school teacher and occasionally I go and do a lesson about the commercial world that awaits them once the leave school. Trying to get a 13, 14 or 15 year old to visualise life after school is really hard. In the end I came up with the ruse of saying "you are all looking forward to getting your driving licence aren't you?"... lots of nods, "well, when you get you licence you will be 17 and will have left school". That gets the little lovelies attention.
As for me, I'm 53, soon to be 54, and I'm getting younger by the day :twisted:
