My mind was not used to it and the wishy washy way it was presented as I taught myself from an early age. I would spend hours building things and experimenting with stuff so I acquired a really practical mind which was far ahead conceptually to the rubbish they taught. Also it gave me the edge when arguing with teachers, as they could not fob me off. So all I ever got in school reports was 'could try harder'. The resentment of the establishment was seeded in my mind from an early age and was always viewed as the enemy. To this day I maintain I was right and they were wrong! Now I know why but at the time I suppose it was more intuitive.

Psychologically I suppose I view the corporate work place as an extension of school, so I never stepped foot in it. My education did more to convince me of how corrupt the system is than anything any politician could do. They were even bent on their assessments. I'm ultra independent now and don't trust the establishment in the least. I even represent myself in court if I have to, since they are bent as well, even ones representing you.
