But it didn't stop me becoming an English teacher in South Korea! 8)

After i set up my sports-car hire company aged 13 i was a multi-millionaire by the time i was 16.

Sadly I bet all my fortune on Cotto last month and am now sadly broke.

Ten GCSEs:
English Language A
History A
Science A A
English Literature B B
Maths C
French B
Resistant Materials (fancy name for woodwork/metalwork) C
I.T A

I also have five A-levels, three of which – English Language, History and Government & Politics – are at A. The other, Business Studies, was a lowly C. Oh, and I also have an A-level in General Studies (it was compulsory), getting a B.

I, after almost five years of not a great deal, finally go to university next month.

I'm another without qualifications (left school at 14). I didn't realise it wasn't rare.

I've been thinking about returning to education with a university degree for a while now, but none of the subjects really appeal. I suppose that's pretty common though; you just take a vague gamble on something which might pay well in the end.
