I dropped out of my 6th form, I'm not sure of the USA equivalent - college I think, because I just picked all the wrong courses and had no desire to continue.
I did Ok in my GCSE's, very well in music.

I worked for Apple last year but left after the Christmas season.
I've been teaching myself music production, in every form. Studio use, acoustic treatment, and all sorts.

This year I'm applying everywhere I can find to get apprenticeship work in a recording studio.
Next year I'll be moving in with my GF while she goes to university.
Hopefully over the next few years I'll progress with this and eventually work as a professional studio technician.

This is my life ambition, so I don't have a lot of other plans.

I've set myself up very badly I know, I have no qualifications in this field, and I can't afford to go on a course. I live and breathe music production, hopefully this will be enough to get me where I need to be, and start learning while working.
