who amongst us would like there son to become a tiler ?

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

well my lad came with me for a couple of years before going in to the Navy, it's up to him what he would like to do for a living,he is a trained chef now , i think its great to have as many strings to your bow as you can ! how about your son/if you had a son or even daughter :hurray:

My son is working in a clothes shop at the moment while doing his college work. He wants to go into the police force. I wont try and change his mind, its all he has ever wanted to do.

I asked my oldest lad to train with me.. Nah he said.. served his time as a spark.. then the youngest lad is going to be a top tiler....and that is a true tiler and not pools..(joke).

I talked my daughter into interior design/architecture. But i would never see my son as a tiler.

Oh yeh , my son wants to become historian. Not teacher of history in school

This is good thread DPF

 

[Martyn Leeds]

very good question.
I'd definately say no.
I'd tell them to pay more attention at school & don't chase the girls when its GCSE revision time, D'oh.

I reckon flying a plane or something would be better than tiling!

(PS. I don't have no kids yet!)

I think it is a proud thing to able to pass on your skills.. and even prouder when you see them actually doing it well.

My eldest son who is 11 but does not live with me doesn't know what he wants to be yet. My 5 year old step son who lives with me wants to be in the building trade like me rather than be a waste of space like his father. My 2 year old daughter wants to be a fairy lol

I'll pass on my skills to my lads, who work for me .
I'm proud of who i am, but would want my kids to do better

Fair enough .. but i will say tiling is highly skilled trade and pays good if you are good at it.
