I started school when i was 4 (UK), then started again when i was 7 (SA), went to high school when i was 14 stayed there until i was 16 (meant to stay until 18) instead i went to a college for the last two years of high school. I did a three month sound engineering course (waste of money). Have had no further studies.

GCSEs ----> GNVQ Intermediate Information Technology ( 1yr,York College) ----> BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners (General) (2yr,York College) ----> Foundation degree Computer Systems Support (2yr The Manchester College) ----> BSc Business Information Technology (4yr sarnie, Salford Uni)

I started my BSc in my second year, so now hoping to go onto the 3rd year which hopefully will be a placement year and got an interview at HP CDS in Manchester, but if I don't get that will be straight into my second year.

Some people tell me I should go on to get a masters and then a PhD but I don't really know why I'd want to, and that, if I find a dissitation hard in my 3rd year, then I'm going to die on a masters and then on a PhD lol.
