Benicio del Toney Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Without going too much off topic I think GCSE's and A Levels are still very important depending on what industry you're going in I work in investment banking for instance and every single major IB asked for a break down of GCSE's/A Levels to the point where I began to lie When I finally secured my current job I was asked to bring my GCSE & A Level certificates on my first day. Having lied about them I made up some bollocks excuse that they got lost in a house flood...they bought it It's a shame that it does still matter at a lower entry level, despite what you've done post GCSE/A Level, because the only people who knew what they wanted to do for a career at GCSE were likely the people being pushed into it by their parents and are the same people who probably already had a connection into their desired industry anyway. Regular people on the other hand didn't have a clue, nor did I even know anyone who'd been to Uni when I was doing GCSE's to understand the benefits. That is the elitist society we live in though You didn't let it hold you bk though so congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benicio del Toney Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I guess there's not much manoeuvre to answer a question like this without sounding like a bit of a twat lol. I never struggled at school, was in gifted and talented, only black boy selected to do Latin, only guy in both the football team and Latin class. Was predicted 10 A*s at GCSE, ended up getting side tracked and messing up even though I got enough to do A Levels with no re sits. Wasn't disciplined enough to achieve my potential in the education system, pretty much coasted all the way through. Now education is behind me I know more about myself, I'm a bit of a maverick, 9-5 would kill me and I've been resourceful enough to make a living over the internet, turning my hand to different things. But intelligence is so broad a term, I'm happy with where I am knowledge wise but I'm hungry to acquire more. I was at a hotel and spotted an Opera singer, introduced myself and we spoke about his career for a bit, I didn't feel intimidated speaking with him about Glyndebourne Festival even though that world is a million miles from where I grew up, we swapped emails and stayed in touch afterwards. I guess I want to be as multi faceted as possible, to able to hold a conversation with anybody from any walk of life, I believe Leonardo would pride himself on this so I think I'm on the right path. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Martinez Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 It's not their fault tbh. I reckon most haven't even had the pleasure to see an actual genius at work. I'd put myself at 6 on this scale. Captain Planet, i don't know how you achieve it but you are the most smug paragraphs I have ever met. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Planet Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 But on a real why would I ever say otherwise? My mother taught me you are what you think, and besides that my parents are exceptionally intelligent, my mum in a social sense and my father being a Harvard attendee MIT and Cambridge grad from nothing. My reinforced positive thinking has me doing things I used to think I could never achieve I'm 22. I have more evidence to suggest I have an amazing mental capacity than otherwise, but i can also appreciate the same in others, people just limit themselves by their insecurities, environments etc. When you can engage in thought that transcends what you see and feel then you can realise that potential. So of course people wont like me to say I'm smart it annoys them, but I am and so can they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
