There is another point to consider here. I left school with poor qualifications. Due, as it turns out, to being dyslexic (I only found this out much later in life). Although I wasn't 'bright' academically I did have an aptitude for technical stuff (taking stuff apart, seeing how it works and re-building it, etc) I was written off by the school and even had to find my own job placement for my YTS course. Some of these kids may be, as you say, 'no-hopers' but there will be some who, with training, would make excellent technicians. In my experience some of the best diagnostic guys had a very poor start from school. It is true that this industry has been treated as a dumping ground by the education system but hey, there will always be a place for tyre fitters!
