Help needed Urgent - Resume

I need help with my resume. I will post a brief profile about myself and than request you to further guide me on from when should I start my resume.

2003-2006 - Went to a University and dropped out due to low grades. 2006-2008 - Full time work in anon finance industry 2008-2011 - First class degree in Economics from top-10 UK university and Vice President of a club, decent extracurricular

Now I am the process of preparing a resume but from when should I begin the resume, from 2003 (right after high school) or 2006? If I start from 2003, I have explain about the first college and it will look negative on my resume on the other hand if I begin from 2006, it will hide the first college.

Some people told me that it is necessary to start from right after high school, some people told me it is ok to skip a few years.

I look younger than my age, if that helps.

Need your advise.

Just don't put the first university on there. For example, I went to community college before transferring to a 4 year school and I sure as hell am not putting that on there. That's how it's done in the US, not sure if it's different for UK

As much as I hate D M's face, I would do what he said as well.

Don't lie, you really just hate my cock for tearing your vagina. It's okay, it's not the first time I've made an enemy because of vaginal tearing...

It's not that, I just wish you warned me ahead of time. I hate surprises.

You are right to question the ethics of any advice that comes from D M, who frequently likes to lie about the size of his manhood. All I know is that I've see this done before and that this is just your resume, it's a screening tool for interviews. Once you land the interview, you can elaborate on it, but make sure you have a good story/explanation for your poor performance/dropping out.

What matters the most is your current school and grades. If you can show that you picked up your act, turned things around, and have been consistent in your efforts, some of your previous mistakes could be overlooked. So focus on the present experiences.

This is based on what I've seen in my limited 2 years that I've been out of school, others could disagree though.
