    440.

    Did a DIT certificate course after making some bad CAO decisions, while under the watchful eye of my mother. I wanted to do a specific PLC course but wasn't allowed.

    Spent the guts of my 20s working in bars/restaurants & call centres (some good, some awful) while studying part-time for degree & masters.

    Now working in the IT sector, totally unrelated to any of the three courses I took, and only got my foot in the door due to the work experience I had built up while studying.

    380 the first time around.Cried for hours after that and the next day was on the phone sorting a place to repeat.
    415 on the second go. Got into a fantastic media course in DIT. Loved it.
    Don't work in the field but don't regret it at all!

    Doing a masters equivalent in a field relevant to my job now.
    Somewhat worked out in the end.

    I think I got around 280 and to be honest I didn't open a book for them.
    I hated school and had no intention of going to 3rd level. I was lucky enough apprenticeships were plentiful in 1996 and I did an electrical one.
    Did a few courses through the years to move into manufacturing maintenance and am happy enough with my lot
