However, working hard at school, he was regarded as "a fairly nice guy, despite his problems" by all his teachers. Despite this, he failed all his O-Levels (GCSEs) and promptly dropped out of education in all its forms, joining art college. At the 'Liverpool Institute for Depraved Art and Pretentious Tossers', Craig found life a struggle - having to be forced to attend lectures first thing in the afternoon, he promptly dropped out within half an hour. This was nearly a record for shortest time spent at an art college, beaten only by Damien Hirst (who claimed most art colleges were not nearly pretentious enough, eventually going on to make his fortune as a pretentious wanker). By chance, on later meeting Charles, Hirst would describe him as "a fairly nice guy, despite his problems". But for now, seeing nowhere to go, in 1988 Craig made do with applying for a shelf-stacking job at Sainsburys.
