How did your experiences with education set you up for a career? What choices did you make? What advice can you give to people starting out at the beginning of their working life?

My experience in the education system has really toughened me up and made more more determined to work harder t reach my goals. Whilst doing my A-levels, I had teacher telling me i'd never get and A in subjects, intidating me and encouraging me to drop subjects! After plenty of hard work I managed to get A in the modules but missed an overall A adn so i went and re-took my A2's in a private college... and then eneded up with even worse grades because my english teacher didn't really understand what was expected in an english literature and language course. He was inconsitent with teaching and it sparked many arguments between us. The wost thing about it i that it is my english that is holding me back in my other subjects because they alll require essays! Now I'm stuck... probably going to a ***** university with the A-levels I wanted to better... and to make matters worse I want to be a lawyer and employers demand high level grades!!!! I'm going to have to get an english teacher and re-do whilst doing a degree!!!
