Learn from the mistakes of others

hey, if this 'kid' can set up his own consultancy firm, so can i. dammit.

his big advantages are that he's popular with the right people and got himself a first class honours. [actually, had i been eligible to have my g.p.a. calculated like normal flinders students, i'd have pulled one too. hell, both of my degrees are with honours. enough of the 'sour grapes'] his expertise is, apparently, in "youth affairs, law, human rights, education, business management, terrorism, the environment and leadership."

if he can do it, why the hell do i get told 'that's unrealistic' when i bring it up with the people who could/should be helping me?

i need to start writing and getting published again.

and another thing, anyone interested in joining me? i'm thinking of setting it up as a consultancy and think tank.
