You don't need college to be successful and get a job, just look at Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. They both dropped out of college and Bill Gates just happens to be one of the richest men in the world.


Bad attitude to have, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs had world changing ideas, 2 in 7 billion

I know what the feels like, whenever i passed my exams in school and started applying for jobs etc I always got told that I would need experience to get this job.



*feels like i have wrote a few lines about my experience lol*

Well when I finished school in 2012, I originally wanted to do joinery at college, got a letter through the door 2 weeks later saying that I got in. Last minute decision to change my mind and do something in IT, applied to do IT at a local college got it with no qualifications in computing at all.

A month after starting the course I applied to work in McDonalds, got an interview a week later and been working there for nearly 3 years now. After passing my first IT course in college then taking a year out to save money up, I now have an opportunity to have get an apprenticeship.

My neighbor who works in IT recently got in contact with me about his work are starting up a IT apprenticeships. Gave him my details and CV and now I have an interview tomorrow morning for an IT apprentice with Clydesdale bank in Glasgow.

I have been looking non stop for IT jobs around my area ever since I passed my college course back in 2013 and now has been my only opportunity to get one.
