Dropping out of high school pretty much would screw you out of any chances of finding a decent job. And with the job market the way it is nowadays, there is absolutely no way you could find a good job without a Bachelor's Degree.
Besides college is NOTHING like high school, it DOES get better! You will thank yourself later, trust me!

Go for it IF you can secure some kind of apprenticeship. If you don't like school its not going to get better after. I hated school, so there was no way was going to go to university after that. I acquired some skills when I finished and am now living comfortably in quite a well paying job and in the process of starting my own business. Just play to your strengths and work hard at whatever you decide.cimil said:
No. Simple as that. I am 17 and personally, I am starting to hate high school too but dropping out? People will always be looking down at you for quitting, you cause your parents more of a burden than is needed, you cause yourself more of a trouble than is needed, you can wait a while before going to college or even stop college when you feel like it, but high school? You drop out now, and dude, that's it. End of story. No chance to try again when you feel like it, and no second chance. You'd have to do it and PAY for it so it is quite ridiculous to drop out for any reason other than a major death in your family and you need a year to coupe with it or if you have a pair of super rich parents willing to pamper you until you are able to make it on your own.
It is possible to become successful and drop out of school, but chances are not in your favor for that. Tough it out bro. You might even find a reason to go to college and get a degree if you spend enough time at high school.
Trust me, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the future of my life in my freshman and sophomore years. Then, by the time I'm a senior, I decided that I wanted to go to college for pre-med. It takes different amounts of time for different people to figure out what they want to do. The least you could have under your belt is a diploma.

That's how I was in school, So I can understand where you're coming from. That being said, I think you should stick with it. I stuck with it, all the way up until my senior year. I moved, and my school screwed up my transcripts, didn't give me enough credits. So, the new school I moved to wanted me to go an extra two years. That is where I just gave up, I honestly decided it wasn't worth it. It was hard enough for me to force myself through the first 4 years, there was no way I was gonna go an extra 2. I don't regret dropping out personally. But, you might feel differently afterwards, so I think you should give it another year or two. You should really think about this for awhile.cimil said:
I'm only eighteen and i'm in my second year of uni, so how does what you said make ANY sense?Stormz said:
Don't be a dumbass. When you want to move out on your own and try do something with your life you'll realize just how bad you fucked yourself over.
At the very least, finish high school. Unless you want to be working at McDonalds or Walmart or something like that for the rest of your life. Most trades even require at least a high school education to start you apprenticeship, so...
I know people who have been searching fora job for months on end, and they've all graduated at least at the high school level. If they are struggling to find a job, someone who hasn't finished High School won't find a job. Don't drop out. You will regret it. You will. Now as to how this affects your actual decision? I hope it does at least a little, but if it doesn't: best of luck with whatever you do. Hopefully I'm wishing you best of luck in the remainder of your high school career, and if not, you'll really need all the luck you can get.
