I wasted my time at school!

I did not like to go to school and I simply hated the catholic school that my parents had chosen for me. I did a lot better in life when I finished to go to that school and I started my working life.

I did not much like school but I had to go and got good grades. Then, college was very interesting. It was what I had chosen.

You can't say the time you spent in time was a waste of time whatever you are today is because of that. Perhaps we might not come across you today had you not been to school. As far as I am concerned the school time is the best time of my life.

I guess not everyone like school. But loving your life is different whether you go to school

Many people do find school boring and tedious. I loved going to school soaking up as much information as I could get hold of except maths. I am utterly and totally useless at maths I think the maths teachers we had were harsh horrible and not nice people. Qualifications are not the be all and end all of life. It is what you do with your life that is important! You are an example of that!

There are many who have had incredible success in life without having been a particularly good scholar. I guess it all depends on the person. Good for you for making yourself a good life.

I made the most of my elementary years..after that..well..school was only something I did if I had to.

I am glad you are now doing good in life with a good job, women , and a good life.

I am glad you were successful.

I didn't care for school either and because of that I really didn't give it my all. I know I could have done better with my grades.

You are one lucky guy for having a good life despite not finishing your schooling.

You are lucky to have these blessings . Times have come when children are made to work hard in school , yet they remain unemployed and unsuccessful in life.

I'm so glad that you have succeeded at life.

I was in the same boat, thought school was a waste of time. I felt the things they taught us was a waste of time. I have learned oh so much more after school than I did in school. I did become rich and famous and I didn't find the cure for cancer but I have done alright in life so far.

I did not like school and did poorly in my early years, then I found out that making good grades was something I could do better than my much older sister, so I did. I never knew what I wated to do, but I have done a lot of things that I liked, and some I did not.

Somebody suggested me this discussion although I am not very qualified as I studied during 19 years and enjoyed my school and college years. However I can rely somewhere as I have chosen a job having nothing to do with my studies where I had to learn many things by myself. I studied law, I became a ground archeologist. I got an equivalence of diplomas which was not obvious. The problem since many decades in France is that you cannot do any job, even selling pizzas in a truck, without a school diploma, so "self made men" like you are very rare.

I wished that I could have been working harder instead of lazing around.

I was a good student until my final year in uni. :))

I have met people like you whose success have nothing to do with past efforts from schools/educations. You are lucky.
