finished school @ 16. did well -- not as well as i should have because of a rebel complex my father gifted me and innate laziness... but hey natural talent > hard work, for a time, at least. then fumbled my way in and out of about 4 different colleges because i was too busy chasing pussy, drinking, smoking or wacking off to attend, and being a generally non-committal bastard. since 16 i've worked in a bar (collecting glasses), an industrial bakery (manual labourer, really), in a lil surveillance outfit as a sort-of-clerk, a supermarket (stacking shelves), and a delivery depot (moving heavy things) in about that order.

it's hard out here without an education but you can get by. getting by isn't the best-case scenario, though.

my life was pretty much going nowhere and i winged my way into a terribly prestigious institute last september [i'm still not certain how] doing a part-time course for two years with which i can jump into the penultimate year of a fully fledged degree when completed. it was a great break/opportunity which i've failed to take advantage of this year but will take the summer to re-evaluate my life, a bit, and get my shit together for the next academic year. i'm 24 btw, a bit late to that party.

it's still going to be hard out here WITH an education but working those shitty jobs taught me it will give a few more options other than a fatter pay packet - mainly i'd like to get out the country and be somewhere less urban. that's about it.
