First of all i would like to clarify that i am currently doing A levels having previously achieved 3 A's at As in physics, maths and chemistry so i have no intention of leaving college to chase a career as a bin man with no qualifications. I was asking the question to see if that route is possible. Secondly, i wouldnt be buying a mansion in the middle of london, i would probably put a deposit down on a cheapish house up here in Newcastle and rent it out to people so that the mortgage could be paid. Thus making money whilst still at school!
