What do you do for a living?

Financial adviser, currently sorting mortgages and insurances.

Boring, stressful, but pays really well. Self employed too and love the freedom and tax breaks that gives.

I'd assume you'd have some kind of finance/accounting degree?

I'd love to be self-employed... Maybe one day, but I kind of doubt it with the road I'm taking.

Nope.

Dropped out of college/ sixth form in the first year. Just couldn't take any more learning.

Landed on my feet a few times and had a firm offer to pay for my exams. Passed those and the rest is history.

Just Google "CeMAP" or go to the IFS learning website. Cost about £150 per exam. Get a placement in a bank or similar and then you are almost guaranteed to clear £30k a year even if you are shit.
