From what I have seen in highschools around my neighbourhood, students drop out not because they want to start gaining work experience or learn a trade, but because they don't want put the minimum effort of going to class and passing the courses. Lack of perseverance and motivation is common as well as drug use. This I know because I always use to see them smoking greens at the smoke pits while I was smoking in highschool. On the otherhand, classmates who graduated highschool and have moved on to learning trades seemed to be more mature and determined than the dropouts I know in general.
It seems like a lot of you guys in this thread are comparing the worst case scenario of highschool graduates with best case scenarios of highschool dropouts which I don't think is a fair comparison.
