im glad it is all going well sandy!!! the boss seems very nice too and he has made it easier on u also as u dont have to drive him. if hes gettin $550 a week and gettin experience hes better off doin that then an apprenticeship. they pay crap now. his pay would prob go down to only $300 or so a week on an apprenticeship so hes better off doin work for this guy coz like he said once he has lots of experience all he has to do is do a management course at tafe and can run his own one which will be great. he must be feeling great about himself too!
