That's so awesome. I've somehow been brought up to believe that your life is over if you get D's in high school (which... I... do).

Congratulations BC. Enjoy this time before joining the workforce.

As for my own qualifications, some of you might be surprised to find out that I'm a doctor. (Speciality: Emergency Medicine.)

Please turn your head and cough. And now pay me.

I too am a dunce and have no qualifications other than an a handful of 'O'levels and an open university certificate for a writing course! :? I was a full time mum and housewife up until 8 years ago when I started my own internet company with my partner selling electrical goods worldwide.

Congratulations BC. Are you still OK to work at my house though? The offer's still open. My garden isn't looking too good. Mrs VG was asking about it the other day!

Yes, and no-one ever teaches you anything... though perhaps they present opportunities for learning. No-one ever learned me nuthin', man :lol: .
