Comment That's me! (Score 1) 303
Actually this is very much me! I was a very slow starter - I scraped through the GCSE's at school (16-year old graduation level in the UK), with a B and 2 Cs, went to a technical college. I think what made a real difference is that at the beginning of my teens I started playing chess and programming computers. By the time I was 25 I was a games programmer, and now I run my own business doing contracts.
I think its hard to tell though whether it was due to the slow start longer cortex spurt thing, or whether that has more to do with finding something that my brain actually enjoyed doing. I guess we'll never know!
