Yes, shame I didn't go to uni a long time ago. I could have done much
better than I did in previous relationships.

:)

I've always struggled with schooling but I did much better when the
course was IT related. Now i'm running the business and studying. It's
important to get the degree but also important not to burn bridges with
customers as I am making real money and providing a real service but I
think that I need to broaden my skills and education to progress from
where I am now.

I'm still poor with maths and solid sciences like chemistry and physics
but going to work to get myself up to speed. I think carrying out
cutting edge research in experimental sciences is much more rewarding in
the long term than end-user product support.

Currently my imagination is much better than my science. If I can
improve my science by leaps and bounds it will be amazing to see what I
can achieve.
