Confession time
I dossed around during my A levels and got all c's. I was gutted. I could have got into some uni I guess but I gave up. I worked at a bookshop coffehouse for 18 months, realized I'd made a mistake and went to my local Uni which was a fairly highly ranked one that certainly would have required more than 3 c's to get into. I spoke directly to the head of the department after the UCAS deadline and lied about my grades on a bullshit CV. He didn't check any of it and gave me a position in his department. I was enrolled 3 weeks later and after 3 years got a decent degree which led to further ed and then a not bad at all first job. I doubt it'll come back to bite me. I'm all in the clear I'm sure. But paying off that mountain of student debt does still feel like penance for a lie.
