I failed at school, my life was crap. But you know what, instead of hanging outside the shops with other losers, I went and got a bloody job! Ok it was only a YTS (for those of you that are too young to know what it means, its 'Youth Training Scheme'. Its where you work the same hours as everyone else - sometimes more- and you only got paid £29.50p a week!) but it got me off the street and out of trouble! so in a year or so, I got employed full time and 2year later had my own car, and drove past all the losers that were hanging outside the shops that I used to know at school. And you know what? It felt bloody good doing it. No, I wasn't on the wage that we all dream of, but at least I had something of my own that I didn't have to nick! But 10 years down the line, I had moved on in the company and was earning a bloody good wage. not bad for a failure! Unfortunately the company changed hands and I left. But after 16yrs there, I'd done the job I wanted to do, but without the qualifications, and I'd owned my own company for a while too. But now I've got everything I want. I'm not well off anymore, but I'm happy, happy I didn't stand outside the shops insulting old people as they walk past. Done
