Don't listen to Baz and flunk school -
At the risk of sounding like an old mannie, i concur with Iain fully. I did fine at school, then college and then an accelerated apprenticeship.
Now i too have 2 weeks off every month to go fishing, but also a fascinating job i love and i get to sleep in my own bed every night
Plus it keeps me in fishing gear
Only thing i would say , is it took me a couple of years of working to realise how i wanted to earn money, (hence the apprenticeship
)
So make it count
