I abandoned my career in school for a woman, never again. Was gonna leave school and go into the forces, but forgot about that because I met someone, so ended up going to college, studying for something I couldn't really be bothered with, and then when college was over, I came out with A Levels which I had no intention of pursuing, as I had already outgrown computers. Did warehouse and Quality Control work from then on, but looking at retraining with a trade behind me.
All the best.
