Maybe not so much the smart ones, just less able to afford to go to uni - much like myself. Although, i don't think thats an excuse which can be used forever, if you want to gain qualifications you will do. Other than my GCSE's, i've gained every other qualification i possess by paying for myself or have been lucky enough for an employer to help out.
I'm sure your son will find work Lucy, it may not been in the area he wants for now, but a job is a job and its always easier to find work if you've got a job. Join agencies, take anything on offer as you never know where it can lead and its all experience on your CV.
