I am 38 and have no qualifications whatsoever from school or college. My brother however, was a smart arse geek who spent his life in books. Got a Batchelors degree in Physics and now works for a major Pharmacuetical company as a lab tech. He earns around £50,000 per annum. I however, missed school regular as clockwork, never sat an exam, worked on a building site from 14 year s old and have since spent the last 15 years and built up a strong, professional window cleaning business employing 6 other people and wouldn't go to work for my brothers salary in a million years now. Moral of my story, its not how clever you are but how hard you work that counts!!!!
