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.

Hey stop following my career path

Allegedly killing my wife. Was framed for it. Courts never believed me.

My degree is in Wildlife and Fisheries Management (I've applied to 1000 of wildlife jobs with zero luck except a potential part time job offer from Florida which I had to turn down considering I couldn't move to Florida for a part time job; I need to move to Alaska or Canada for a chance at a decent wildlife job)

Manufacturing jobs at Flextronics and Jabil.  Flextronics is mainly Cisco but they have shipped most of their Cisco business to another Flextronics factory overseas.  Jabil was LCD screens repair for Dell which they closed the factory down in Round Rock.  I worked at Flextronics first doing testing on personal computer motherboards, then testing Cisco server board, then BGA operator (take chips off the boards), then ECN operator which takes smaller components off boards upgrading them , etc (soldering which eventually lead to multiple nose bleeds and quitting due to not wanting to inhale lead fumes for $10 a hour).  I am now back at Flextronics again after Jabil shut down and I am testing Cisco server boards (ICT which is the first test right after the boards are made) before brackets puts more stuff on the board (like heatsinks) and further testing.  (SMT line -> X-ray -> Add On -> ICT -> Brackets -> Pre2Corner/more testing -> Final Inspection -> Pack is the usual flow process of most boards but boards can skip various processes depending on the board)   I get paid under 11 a hour working 3rd shift (that is with the off shift "bonus").  Basically, I need to find a better job.
