I left school when I was 16 with 11 GCSE's. I've always struggled, even to this day, to find a subject or career that I would like to pursue.Disability Gamechanger - 2019

@Ami2301 I never knew what I wanted to do either, I often think that people who do when young are very lucky. The only thing I ever really wanted was freedom and I did mange a degree of that in my working lifetime but I never had a job I loved doing and I never met many people who did.
I wouldnt give up though as I believe there’s always a chance something extraordinary can pop up, especially when you try different things, things happen. ?“This is my simple religion.

I left school 'Secondary Modern' at 15ys old, with no qualifications, I enjoyed school to a point, but like most back then hated maths. I started as a welder / fabricator two weeks after leaving. On £4.17p (Old Money) a week. Really for 40hrs.
?♂️ It was then I started to learn in the University of life. Surprising myself just how good I really was at maths when I had to use it in a more physical sense. Working from drawings and plans ECT.
At 35 I became the supervisor, at 45 The Manager. Then left it all behind to become a Youth Support Worker and got a few qualifications from that. 'A' level's and such. Retired a 55 and loving every minute of it. ? -
