True, but un-needed.
It is/was his choice, and it's hardly a boast......
I stayed through school, got 7 over C GCSE's blah blah blah, have loads of qualifications that show application to things (emergency FR, lifeguard, scuba-diving, etc) and I'm still totally stoked for a job, let alone a f**king career option!!
Education is bollocks all in all, even after getting twat loads of qualifications, degree's and so on, you still start at the bottom, and work your way up.
