Not all people get the opportunities to do the studying. Maybe they have
been brought up in a deprived surrounding where education wasn't important
for them to get by. Being street wise was more important. Maybe they
didn't have parents on their case telling them how important it was to be
educated. Maybe they got caught in the wrong crowd or the wrong side of the
law where they were too busy ducking and diving to settle to further
education. Maybe they haven't had the push or guidance to be able to
further themselves.
All in all........I think you're lucky to have been in a position to study
as you have done. Not stating that it wasn't hard work achieving your goal.
However, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to fulfil the challenge.
Flopsy :o)
