I had a slightly different problem - From the age of 12 I was training with a pro football team and knew that was where my future lay - So I slacked badly at school.
I went into and played football till I had a serious accident when I was 20 - Financially it was no problem as I had a good pay out from my club and insurance - My club was also good enough to set me up with a chance for further education - I grabbed at this with both hands and got a degree in media English.
I was also lucky enough to carry on playing part time football till I was 38.
If it wasn't for my degree, I would have had serious problems - Those years playing semi pro football and writing for various mags set me up for life.
However, many people out there get by, many even make millions without an education. But the stats will always show the millions lacking an education are far more likely to have the cash to match their brains.
Being educated opens up many doors - Take it while you have the chance.
