I will graduate highschool in 2009, and continue to college. I donno, dropping out doesnt seem like an option for me, personally, my expectations for myself are high, and without a college diploma I would be a disgrace to myself, and my whole family. But that is just me.
I'll finish college in 2010, i'll be 17, then i'll go to university, no way would i be allowed to drop out
you'll be 17???? the youngest I would of been was 18 to finish high school (without failing or anything).
Different countries have different schooling etc.
Ive finished all the schooling needed.
I left when i registered on RZ forums.
Still at skool atm but i done my Electrician exam today so hopefully if i pass ill get an Apprenticeship and i will leave at the end of this year :D
at the age of 17
tell me where you guys live to get out so fast, I'll just go over there when I get kids
I would love to get out of school fast, but I am stuck. Ill be finishing up city college this winter and then moving o to ITT Tech for what I really want to learn. After that I hopefully dont need anymore school.
17 and i were kicked out from 2 schools :)
now about 2 years i'm free like bird :D
class of 07 for me! woot woot

i was talking to my one of my teachers from last year the other day, and he was a builder before he became a teacher. after graduating he got an apprenticeship as a builder and started doing that. he was telling me that before going to uni and becoming a teacher, his last paycheque as a builder was over AU$150,000.00. now as a teacher he earns about 1/4 of that.
in the past you would have been looked down apon for not getting a university education, but nowdays people have come to realise that the real money lies in the manual hands-on work which university just cant provide.
Exactly, i left school at 16, i'm now 18 and earning 18k a year (UK), which isnt too bad for 18! You will come out of uni with a nice shiny degree to show to your bosses! Wow! Look! You can fill in exam papers! Here's your 18k a year at 24.Quote:

After high school you go to multiple kinds of 'after high school stuff', there is university, but that takes shitty ass long. If you take something 1 small level lower, and you will take it on the 'speed level'. Then your done in 2 years. And believe me, a level lower is like ... a simple example. 1 level lower = 1+1 =2 , uni = 1+1.1=2.1 , yay! worked my ass of 2 extra years for something i probably wont need.
But thats just here in the netherlands ...
Yeah... thats what they all want :D , just joking. I want the exact same thing :). And over ~ 6,5 years im done :).Quote:
