I've always had that problem at school, I know a lot of people who have too, who have become very sucessful and now own their own buinesses. just because you have troubles at school doesn't mean you arent brite because I'm pretty sure you are. I've got a story for you, my guitar teacher told me when Him and i had this convorsation. His son had many many problems with school work it was really difficult for him, his daughter on the other hand, finished her schooling went to uni and so on. his son the same son who had troubles at school now owns a buiness and has about 150 people working for him, and his daughter the one that went to uni now works for his son who owns the comapany. A lot of the stuff they teach you at school is crap any ways, so don't think that way. just like Emilysanswers up there said Quite often you can make more money sooner than people who go off to university. I don't think I could agree more. Every one has their specaltys you just have to find yours, and once you do you could probably get pretty sucessful with it.

Many people just aren't academic. My husband is one of the cleverest people I know but hated school and has rubbish qualifications.
It's only because he joined the army that he's got where he wanted to go.
There are many people like you and many things you can do with your life that are practical.
Have you thought what area you want to work in?
Ask your careers advisor about what you could do apprenticeships in. You could do everything from becoming a top cook or chef or do something in hair or beauty, or work with animals, or be a plumber or electrician.
Quite often you can make more money sooner than people who go off to university.
Good Luck!! xx
