POLL: How far did your education take you?

I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in early 2003, but haven't had a job since then. I've never had a proper job in my whole life actually. I think that is a small part of why I'm so shy and stuff, the earlier in life you get out there and get some self confidence, the better off you'll be.

I just completed high school then got a job working in a supermarket. Barely made it through school as I had no idea what I wanted to do and the bullys were really getting to me so I gave up trying after awhile.

I quit school at 15 after my exams, left with pretty good grades. Couldnt get a job anywhere, sat alone in my house for over a year and a half.

Finally got into college just before i turned 17. At the minute im off because of the holidays, go back in a week or so, then finish the course 1st february.

Then the next level of the course im doing isnt until September, so i'll be doing nothing for 7 months unless i pick up the courage to go get myself a job, which is very unlikely. Crying or Very sad

For me working has been horrible. Even since finishing GCSE and getting a job, it has all been downhill. I think the lack of social interaction is to blame.

I was taking college courses while in junior high, because I was bored. At 16 I droppped out and had my GED within weeks. I received my Associates in Science in Computer Programming at 18.

But working has been difficult. My first boss suggested I join Toastmasters, that was more than 20 years ago. I should have listened to him. I thought it would be ok to be shy. But later I was placed in cubicles, which I can't stand. When I have a private office to work in, I have stayed at those jobs for years. But cubicle jobs only last weeks for me.
