Howard Hughes

Despite my name I started with nothing. I was just a kid from a council house. I thought I was so clever that I never bothered to do homework and basically messed around my whole time at school. I left school at 16 and took a dead end job working in a factory. At 18 I was a father and a husband and I had to work my butt off to put food on the table. At 21 I had the chance to attend night school and learnt about electronics and computers and worked my way up to a good but stressful job with a bank. I retired at 61 and I now manage my own investments as a job working from home. It is great being my own boss and if I had of been smart as a kid I could have done this my entire life.
