Any student who will smile when you give him a job pounding earth with a hammer is going to go a long way.
Fantastic! Good on you Paul for getting someone in there for the work experience. That's great news. He looks like he's enjoying himself. Keep it up.h
I'm total jealous that you have an assistant. He will learn a lot of good stuff from you.
