I also left school without qualifications, lived off the state for a year, and had a kid. No family for help, drug probs.....etc...etc..
My turning point was when a friend said 'are you gonna lie down and let your scenario screwyou for life?'
So i put myself through college, while working at a supermarket and also as a binman.
I also put myself through uni, and i'm putting myself through my mba now, as was the point of this thread. I now work as a business analyst for a great company. My son is now 8yo, goes to a good school. Yes, his mother and me arent the best of friends, but hes happy i believe.
So why you tell me this, is beyond me. Maybe for others to offer you pity that you started an argument, and lost. Badly.And continued it.
Your 29, u have 3 beautiful kids and live in a nice part of the world. To me,you have success in a different way, that other would be very envious of. And, you are only 29...you have all the possibilities ahead of you.
You say you get money off the state, most people do! But they also do grants for single parents to return to education, i.e. if you spent less time posting on here and more time on an online uni course, u can get to where you dreamed.
Rise and conquer Ms Crab.... the fuures yours for the taking.

Stop rubbing your superiority in my face will you. You make me feel bad about myself
