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

[The D]

my lad started tiling at 6 years old he is now 16 and can do the job but he wants to do game design. im happy with that

The daughter is only 16 months old so she hasn't chosen a career path yet. :lol:

Think I would encourage my children to get a few qualifications and something less physical but would also be proud if I had a son who turned out to be a first class tiler.

Had the 'pleasure' of working for a company for a while this year, my Son just so happens to be on a course with the same firm, I was able to take him under my wing, try and teach him a thing or 2 but it's not for him, he says he would like to try again, we'll see what happens next year.

whatever my 2 lads do, vet, digger driving, lion taming etc, I just hope they get as much enjoyment and job satisfaction out of their chosen paths, as I have from tiling. The worst thing I can imagine for them is going to work and consider it a drudge.

Not really bothered what my son does when he grows up as long as he is happy doing it. I don't think he would enjoy selling floor screeds though....

Idea for a new thread!

Not all tattoo artists have loads of tats

Ive got two girls , but if I ever have a son I'd be happy with whatever he'd be happy with . I wouldn't encourage him to tile because it can be hard work at times and sore on the body , plus people try to treat you like a mug at times!!

As long as they are healthy and happy im happy(If they earn a decent crust at what they do ill be even happier )

It's quite funny that a lot of you think of tiling as a lower grade job, I have 9 GCSE's (a* -c grade) and 4 A levels, those qualifications got me a very good job in a well known supermarket, I climbed the ladder and hated it, tiling might not be as well recognised but, I earn more money from it and I command a damn sight more respect for what I do now. No one will ever take that away from me.

If you become what you feel passionate about and truley enjoy then you will never work another day in your life. My daughter will hopefully find what she wants and be as lucky as me.

similar to myself Bri, but in my day we had O levels and A levels,,and a HNC in Building Studies to boot, all we as parents can do I think is to encourage and nurture them with the talents that nature and personality has bestowed them with.
