I'd have another Emily ... her brother though could go for a very long walk off a short plank. He sounds not dissimilar to yours .. he put the minimum effort in at school but managed to get a load of GCSE passes. Went into the Navy as a WAFU apprentice & tried to get through with the same minimum effort which obviously didn't work and was out on his heels within maybe 6 months. His mate got him a job in a pub/restaurant and he's not progressed any further from that.....
He found a job in a restaurant as a KP and worked his way up to commi chef, he's now jacked that in and gone back to Uni (Open), studying computers now, 'coz he doesn't like getting his hands all grungy, be it with car oil, bodyshop catty, or foodstuffs.
I was ready to kill him again at this point as, we will be subsidising him AGAIN, children, who'd have 'em?
