Reply to comment by HorseActual in TIFU by procrastinating my highschool courses by Vegetable-Rest7205

I respectfully, respectfully disagree, but I suppose it matters if you are applying to med school, going to a technical school, or doing neither. Here's why. Both my brother and ex dropped out, enrolled in a 2 year community college and got their associates degree at 19, transferred into a 4 year college, got their GED somewhere in between, and one graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry and works as a Chemist and the other one works in Computer Science.

I’m a college dropout too, but it’s just that much harder of a process to do. Even the military rewards you for having a highschool diploma (no signing bonuses unless you have one) I’m not saying that it isn’t doable, but generally it isn’t a good idea to drop out of highschool.
