University was a life ending opportunity for me when I spat
at people and threatened to kill people most days.
I had no money to socialize and became involved with street
gangs and drugs.
When I graduated I was competing with translators from
degrees from Oxford and Cambridge as well as people who had spent significant
lengths of time in foreign countries…
I self-destructed and almost got myself killed.
On one occasion I was beaten up in a gym only to go out and
pick a fight with three bouncers, get hospitalized, get thrown out of A and E,
go back into town and then attack the bouncers again. I then went to the gym
and saw the same bouncers there training.
This was not what I hoped for from my degree.
My wife left me due to my failure to be rich. I didn’t
really care as she compared me to someone who went to public school.
I am more stable now due to having several ways of making
money. I studied French to English
translation under Alexandre Coutu and this got me a job as a French to English
translator with Work Place Translation. This was one of the best things I ever did.
I also branched into ebay trading and worked for an antiques
shop as well as importing stuff from Turkey.
I now do matched betting and have a very positive life. I am learning how to trade on the stock market.
In the future I aim to study languages again however much
university effected me.
I aim to continue with chess but to play less games online.
