Yes. Got my qualifications. Paid them off in 2 years. Jumped between Software Engineering jobs every 12 months to gain a LOT of experience. Bought my first house and paid half of it off as a deposit. Paid in full within 6 years.
I was so young and stupid and hungry that I'd occasionally pass out while walking home. Fall down and hurt my elbows on the pavement. Living on the edge, hanging on by my fingernails.
My college lectures were full of illiterate, fat scholarship niggers.
'Looking back, I probably should have just gone to a soup kitchen for a good meal... but it NEVER occurred to me to expect help from anyone.
