And I told you why. Behaviour and discipline are at fault.Add to that unrealistic aims and goals and you have a recipe for disaster.
Thanks to X Factor and reality shows there are many who fail to see that the best way to succeed is to study/train/practice as hard as they can.One only has to glance at the rejects from such shows to see how deluded they are at thinking all they need to do is appear on TV.
The number of argu..err discussions I've had with youngsters who are going to be acting,singing,dancing for a living who think they need only to study drama,dancing or music and they will make it.
As Ignitionnet says it an old chestnut dragged up every decade.School leavers could leave with top grades and crystal clear received pronunciation and would still be found wanting by prospective employers.
I'd also like to point out that your own presentation in this thread has some spelling errors.Plus it is correct grammar to use a capital letter when referring to oneself in the singular mode.
