Outcast Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Yes but you'll be making $18 or maybe $20 an hour for the rest of your days whereas others will move on to 40K and higher.
Apathetic Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Well I am talking about right now,I have future career plans,I'll be attending college soon so I can work with Autistic/mentally challenged children.Of course i'll never be a lawyer or a doctor but my point was that just because someone is a drop out does not mean they will live in a trailer park and make $8 an hour and be losers eating "pork and beans".I hate when ppl stereotype & look down on ppl who have made bad choices for whichever reasons,especially when they dont even know what they are talking about,makes THEM look like the moron...
slackernerd Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I'm currently in college, and I wish I had dropped out of high school, taken a state equivalency exam when I was 16, started at community college, and not an extra wasted 2 years of my life in high school. Heck, if legally allowed, doing this at 14 would have been better. A high school diploma alone, like dropping out, will, in the absence of some kind of other skill, also lead you to trailer parks and $8 an hour jobs. It does not demonstrate employability. I know a high school graduate who can not spell the word "and" and can barely write his name. Since he had good attendance, he always got at least a D. I know another who is too stupid and immature to keep a job washing dishes. Then again I'm not sure if college will necessarily help me either, but at least I've yet to meet a college grad incapable of spelling "and".
