you are me.
left school with fuck all, had loads of shit jobs including cutting frozen chickens in half, stacking bacon at a factory on nights etc.
Joined the Army, loved it, got medically discharged.
Big sliding slope to self wallowing pity.

After about 6 mths I got given a PC by my uncle who had upgraded his so I could do a CV and look for jobs, found I had a knack for using/repairing them and never looked back, 15 years later with a lot of hard work I've got my own IT company, 1 shop and another opening very soon.

Glad to here you turned it around also.
