I’m so bad with educational institutions.

I’m writing this out of frustration because I’m at a loss for how bad I can be with educational institutions.

I failed maths twice and not because I couldn’t do it, but because I came at the wrong time (IGCSEs). Decided that I won’t go through with it again since I fucked up twice.

Graduated school at 15 and passed with only 3 subjects, enough to get me into a two year university diploma course. This diploma course took me three years to complete because I planned my courses horribly! Then I did a three year bachelor’s where I redeemed one year due to my diploma, so total two years now and it took me 1.5 years to complete because I rushed and worked my ass off for it. Even did an internship with a top 3 insurance company. Graduated with a decent 3.06 CGPA by age 21…

Just to find out that a lot of other universities don’t accept a bachelor’s that has a year redeemed from a diploma for a master’s programme. Because it apparently makes such a big difference right?

But I feel like I excel in other parts of my life, particularly in making money. I managed to start a small business that generates a good income that funds my current life.

I want to not give up on my education. I still kept on going because I know it’s important for my family and my own image, but now I just don’t get or care enough about educational institutions. I don’t know who I could talk to or how I could get my priorities straight for this.

Because on one hand, I want to focus on making more money and developing on my business ideas. But on the other, I want to at least have a master’s.

It just seems like most of my friends live such a normal/good uni life and I’m the one that doesn’t, yet I make good money compared to them.

Is there anyone that could relate to me or give me advice? Is this normal?
