Didnt do well at school, didnt even pass subjects i should of, ART and IT
so dragged in to college, showing up my tutor in computer programming (teaching BBC Programming when i have never done programming on a BBC before, The tutor was let go not long after) then Computers and Electronics, out did some of my tutors there again (not a great thing to do)
Then became a Warehouse MONKEY, before taking moving on to the packing side due to me watching them working.
Did dam well running the dam place while my manager hid in the toilet, but being only 21 was treated badly by other managers so i went of to uni where it was all above me (my limit i guess)
So back to warehouse slave an then a Job as a Design Tech (way above me but i was 1/2 the price, got a 20% pay increase after a year and half to "Bring me in line with everyone else" WTF so i left)
Back to Warehouse, interview with one company for Laptop Repair, did all the tests and then the interview, they forgot i was there for 2hr had a rushed interview and said F it and talk to my manager if i could have days off to study to be Electrician, he was ok with all the time off, came out of my holidays any how.
I had to do TESTs to prove i could do it, "oh i dont know if your maths will be up to it" !! i studied with the OU for Maths and the only GCSE i passed easy. Also Dyslexic Test and asked how AGRESSIVE I WAS
All i aim for is a PASS as i feel my reading lets me down and trying to express things
2330 Level 2 ... 2330 Level 3 .. 17th Edition ( i swear i have some H&S subject in Brest Feeding) ... 2377-22 some thing to do
Then was told all i could do is KITCHENS!! unless i do the 2394/5
Place i went to in Nottingham suggested EAL/LCL versions of the 2394/5 as it was open book, also know the pass rates for the 2391/4/5 (figure if only 40% ish of people passed it, i would think they where better than me, so not good odds)
So did the LCL 2394 and passed that and then the 2395 with EAL, may cost a bit more but both courses as the same time and didnt pass would of killed me money wise.
Trying to go Self Employed as who wants a 40yr newb, but how to sell oneself not my best thing, but there is always help of people wanting cash to put you higher up in the GOOGLE SEARCH (hold on if everyone is paying for this how can you be at the top)
In the Great words of DORY "just keep swimming"
