The day I read this was the day I realised I had to go back to education. I had to have to have a Plan B.
"You’re fucked. You thought you were going to be someone, but now it’s obvious you’re nobody. You haven’t got as much talent as you thought you had, and there was no Plan B, and you got no skills and no education, and now you’re looking at forty or fifty years of nothing. Less than nothing, probably. That’s pretty heavy."
- Nick Hornby (A Long Way Down)
If you're asking, despite this inspired paragraph, A Long Way Down isn't Hornby's best. Start with High Fidelity, it's the funniest thing I've ever read.
