Stay in school. (or highschool at the very least)

I applaud all the bountiful cinderella stories here but I wouldn't bet your life that you'll have one too. Moreover, just because you finish school doesn't mean you'll have it easier as well. You'll have to work, persevere and endure like your drop-out counterparts.

The difference is that the more education you posses, the more odds you're stacking in your favour. It doesn't matter if you'll find use for most, some, or a few of your formal education, all you just need is that "one" that may perhaps put you ahead of anyone you're competing against.



Finish Highschool. It's seriously bloody easy. There's a reason why not having finished highschool can reflect poorly on an individual. Now that everybody's covered the "positives" of dropping-out in at least 3 pages worth, here's just a few contrast to also wisely consider as well.

* It can look like: if you don't possess the technical abilities to finish something as easy as highschool, how are you going to manage what "said employment" has in store for you.

* It can look like you lack perserverance and will quit and at the first sign of hardship.

* If 2 people are of equal merits, sometimes whatever your useless intangible qualities is going to be your deal breaker. Sometimes it can be as little as something as your personality is a better fit, sometimes it can be that you're generally more educated than your competitors. But the point is, that's not up to you, it's up to your prospective employer. It's better to have as much of those qualities covered as possible.
