 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/4200&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Joe&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;purplephish20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I dropped out after AS, then spent 8 months unemployed, I took some cheap courses through the jobcenter, then applied for entry level jobs that I qualified for with the AS levels I /did/ have. I managed to get a job with a fairly nice company, who paid for me to take a HNC course in IT. Then my boss kind of flipped the hell out and took to workplace harrassment, so I applied for my current job on the strength of the experience I had and the qualification they paid for. I got it and now I'm here. From drop out to manager in two jobs.</html>
