hi lads,

I know its not what you want but I do feel sorry for you. It must be really hard to face that kind of problem. I can kind of relate because a few years back I was working at Tesco wasting my life away stacking bananas but I came out of school with some good GCSE's, even though I fucked about most of the time.

I decided to get my act together and went back to college at 21. Did a National Diploma in Aerospace Engineering for 2 years, now im a aircraft engineer working for Thomas Cook at Manchester airport.

Moral of storey is, try having a look into college courses, I dindn't even know the course I did existed until I had a look in the brochure while having a shit.

Your never too old, even at 40, and believe me, when your life depends on it, you will do better than you expect (not like when you was at school), and learning is fun if its something you are interested in.

Go to your college and just have a look, you never know, plus theres all sorts of grants you can apply for if you have family, mortgage etc.

Hope I havent bored anyone lol
