@Jim K. You are assuming a lot about me, and for good reason but i want to say a few things. I never made this post like “Im dropping out today to peruse realest because school sucks and I’m going to be rich” I simply posed a question because I was curious and for other people who had that seem seed planted in their head. First thing I dont give up. Could it seem like I do in the question? Yes it does, but I dont. We need 24 high school credits to graduate, I have 18 and at the end of the year i will have 26. I did this by starting high school early. I removed all study halls, and any lunch periods. That way I was in school for 9 periods and I had 9 classes. I have already run through the business academy and some of the tech academy. All I have left in school in the classes the state forces us to take and a few others that I deem helpful. I also want to take public speaking next year.. I read through your responses and I enjoyed it because you put a lot of great advice in there. And at this point I wish I could either delete or edit my original post because more people keep commenting, which dont get me wrong I greatly appreciate, but its a lot of the same information. Please remember i tried to pose this as an idea, not something I wanted to act out on right away. Everyone has thought about dropping out, just wanting to see what people thought. Thank you for responding Jim!
