For everyone I know that dropped out, they either picked up a trade (plumber/carpenter/electrician) or were lucky enough to get into longshore. The other ones are SOL. Sit at home twiddling their thumbs doing nothing all day.

I go university full time but I get summers off, this summer I decided to get into a sales job. I fucking hated it; I got treated like shit, the hours were long, but you know what? If your really tried hard it was easy to average $25-$30/hour. The top person there was making almost $40/hr. This job where I worked at required no education. So you would think in a job where you can easily average $30/hr you'd have tons of people working there.

The kicker was, we were all university students and this was our part-time summer job. The point I'm trying to make here is that to make a decent amount of money is easy, if you feel you need the money. If everything is given to you, you won't have any motivation to work a shit job (even if the pay is great). If you never had to work for anything in your life, or if you just 'dropped out' when the going got tough, you won't get anywhere because life isn't easy, it never is.

If you get into the mindset of "I'm going to make $XXX,XXX this year, I don't care what it takes, and I don't give a fuck what I have to do. I'm going to do it, try and stop me" you'll do it.
