Then what remains is to work hard to achieve what you want. Hard work!

I have attended many courses where the teaching was crap. But because I was interested in the subject, I would read many more books than were set to be read and do as much as I could because I wanted to get on.

Remember never blame anyone. When something goes wrong (education, relationships..., whatever) there is only one person that can put it right. That is you. You were born to learn from experience. If you reject that experience you reject and neglect the opportunity to progress.
Well said, as a product of the Accy/Ossy school system I wasn't really intrested at school and left with nothing, nowt, zilch, F all, and honestly thought that it was not my fault, I was going to play Football for the rest of my life anyway.
When I eventually woke up to the fact that if you want a humdrub life and can't get that job that you think your entitled too you have to do something about it, get to college, do night school, anything that will give you a leg up. I know as a young person this sounds like crap and someone will give you that job, even if your spellings rubbish, your english is so,so and the Tattoos and piercings look great, but in this big wide world something as small as a BA or BSc next to your name will get you a double pay rise. Don't surcome to the "yer don't need awt lass" attitude it will only hold you back from accomplishing what your capable of.
