Well, I'm from the UK, so the education system is a little different. We finish "secondary school" at 16, but have to complete (usually) 2-3 years of college before being able to go to University.
- In 2007 I worked as a web/graphic designer for a company called Funktion Design (now defunct)
- In 2008 I graduated from school (16 years old), and started college. In college I studied Computer Science, Politics, Economics, Maths, and a little thing called "General Studies" (basically, just current affairs)
- I also had a summer job in 2008 between finishing school and starting college, where I worked for a firm that basically laminated shit. Literally, that's all they did.
- In 2009 I started working for McDonald's.
- In 2010, I graduated from college, and went to Uni at the University of Kent. Studying Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence. I carried on working at McDonald's during the holidays, though.
- In 2011, I left McDonald's. Instead, when I go home between terms, I work for my dad. He owns a business which designs, manufactures, tests circuit boards.
- I will be taking a year out of my University study to spend a year working in the "industry". Although not confirmed, atm, it looks like I'll hopefully spend the year working for HSBC in Hong Kong. This essentially means that when I graduate, not only will I have one of the most valuable degrees out there (seriously, compared to most degrees, Computer Science is a GOLD MINE), but I'll also have a years worth of experience. Should give me an edge in going for graduate jobs.
And that about sums up my work/education life, so far. Seeing as I'm currently 20... I feel I've had a good run.
