Better to be smart and have the certificate to prove it than to be foolish and think people will take you on your word of your intelligence and skills.
Anyone can learn a skill or a trade; but, not many people will take someone's word alone as proof. Would you?

Be realistic; this is one of the few reasons keeping me in college. For serious.

Having a degree shows that you have certifiable experience and are/were committed to accomplishing goals.
Having A's shows an employer that you put in the extra effort, something highly valued because it means that you are worth the investment in payroll - meaning you will eventually get paid more if you keep putting extra effort in.

And that's the way the world goes round.

Stay in school kids.

I might, just because my GPA is horrid and i have almost no credits. plus the world needs dropouts, if everyone took school seriously and most people had college degrees, you would have to have a good college education to do jobs that require a high school diploma or even no education. dropouts and people who fail school are needed for current society to run. school isn't to help people pass, it's to weed out the workers from the thinkers and the rich.

Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Rockefeller, and Walt Disney all dropped out.

Yes, but those people already had great ideas and had great ambitions they kept pursuing, it's not that if you drop out you suddenly become a success, most actors have dropped out as well, but they have some skill/contacts to back themselves up with, I mean, if you're walking around with a complex design in your head that will guarantee a fully working teleporter - FUCK SCHOOL, that shit would earn you more than anything ever would.

And for every Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Rockefeller, and Walt Disney there are hundreds of thousands of people working shitty minimum wage jobs, or even unemployed. Stay in school OP. The only way to get rich as a HS dropout is to hit the lotto jackpot, and we all know the odds of that.

Haha, I'm not saying I'd drop out. But I don't know, sometimes you just wanna take the chance and do what you want like those guys.
