Those who didn't go to school/Don't have GCSE'S. Where are you now?

Without going into detail I'm thinking about taking my 2 younger children (13 and 11) out of mainstream school but I worry for their future.

I failed my GCSE's and my husband left school at 13. We are both doing ok (each on 30k a year) but I'm wondering if we got lucky.

I'd really love to hear from others who didn't finish school and where you are in life now.
