He finished school and now he's a space engineer or something, the daughter has a manager job and the second son is a freshman in college. It was a really touching story. Unless these kids see the reality of how hard it is to go through life without an education (unless like Phanta said they know how to rap or something) they won't appreciate the opportunities that are given to them.
you have to do this. When and if i have kids, i want them to be better than me.

At work, the fellas who are mechanics, electricians, pipe fitters,etc make more money than the people in the lab and in the offices. And they seem to have a less stressful life. Yes,there's a demand for them. Alberta needs so many trades people right now by the way.

Let him convince himself by trying to earn a living without a high school diploma.
