@RickiTarr I was a wimp! Too poor to be "cool" or to follow fashion. Had to "Work hard and get qualifications or I wouldn't get a job".
Worked though. Left at 17 and aced an interview for a job that didn't exist until I asked, then they created the job for me. 🙂 (I wish there was a smug face emoji!!)
Worked hard all my working life, ended up running my own IT company with MrsD for years. Now retired and "quite" financially comfortable, thankfully. Until the UK government screws us over!
