I came out of school as a teenager with no qualifications at all and was very rebellious at that age. I thought I was smart enough and didn't need them; that I knew better. The truth is, I was very wrong and naive. About fifteen years later, I decided to go back to school and came out with some degrees in computers, even though I had been around them since the age of twelve. Once I achieved those qualifications, I felt extremely satisfied. And with the technology of today and the ever-evolving music industry, systems within both are constantly growing, and as a Music Producer label owner, one can't help but notice. It has been proven to me that I am always at school as a student of life. I had to invest to find out what I don't know by immersing myself in tons of books, videos, audios anything I could get my hands on! It really doesn't matter what your age is If youre trying to achieve something, it will take some learning, regardless of what you might have heard. And its absolutely worth it. Today, I strongly believe that if I hadnt been such a jerk (I really was. Haha.) and was around people who were a good influence on me, then I might have not needed all of that re-learning I have done over the past few years. My best advice for you would be to go out there and do it! The time youre in school isnt really that long and you have an entire lifetime ahead of you. And if there are subjects you just don't get along with, focus on what you do like and just focus all of your energy there. Ask yourself What are your goals? What do you want to be? Then, just go for it! You can do it! Yes, it does take a lot of patience and willingness to learn, but simply aim to stay optimistic and you will be just fine.
