Seriously though, when I was a kid I used to go to work with my old man in the holidays. He had me digging trenches and manholes in the back garden for weeks so that I got some practice before he unleashed me on the real thing. Practice makes perfect.
Didn't help much when I thought about the other kids playing at home while I drove a tandem roller over steaming hot rolled asphalt, though!
