It all came at a price though! 
I was never very good academically, and gaining my marine certificates pushed me to the limits. I had failed my 11+, also entrance exam to technical college, and left school without a single O level. But on the other hand, never had much trouble with dealing the with practical electronics, and could even manage the dreaded transistors and ICs when they came along. I could probably have become quite successful, if I had been better at the paperwork
