Seriously, I think you need to read that question out loud to yourself and realize how ridiculous it sounds. What will you do for a job, how will you make a living. Do you plan on working at some fast food joint flipping burgers for your entire life, if so then feel free to drop out now.

Why would someone want to purposely do this? It doesn't make any sense!
Employment: Employers want applicants who have completed high school. This demonstrates that they have completed a "goal." They are not quitters, so to speak. Finish high school. Your income will reflect that. Also, if you are interested in serving in the military, a high school education is necessary.
Higher Education: Once you have completed compulsory education, go on to bigger and better things. College is tough and expensive, but worth it in the long run. You will have so many more opportunities available to you with a college degree.
Other options: Tech School is good for those who are not interested in a full 4 year program. Some employers will pay for you go to go college- reimburse you for your tuition if you get Bs or better.
Don't sell yourself short. Give yourself every opportunity to succeed.

Don't do it. You are so close to getting your high school diploma. One more you can do one more year. If you have all your credits you can slack off too, though it is not advised. When you are looking for a job, a diploma looks better on an application than a GED does. It shows that you are not a quitter.
Also, seniors get a lot of perks. They get trips and they get out a week early. So just stick school out one more year and then you will be in a better situation than if you dropped out.

Let's see. You go to school for 11 years- from age 6 to 17- only to drop out in the very last year, when you're so close to finishing what you started. And without that highschool diploma, you'll be stuck working in fast food places for the rest of your life. Unless you have a brilliant get-rich-quick back-up plan to carry you to retirement. (Lottery, anyone?)
My father did not even finish college (he went only two years because of money) and even though he is a good provider and worker, the lack of college education has limited his job options. My siblings and I will have to pay our own way through college because he cannot afford to pay for us to go to college. We got through the last 3-4 years of school on a scholarship.
And that's because my dad didn't complete four years of COLLEGE!! Think how much harder it'd be for you if you never finish high school.
No, it's not worth it. Do yourself a favor and at least finish high school. Yeees, you can make a living without finishing high school education, but that diploma will make it a lot easier.

No you should not drop out you WILL regret it in the future. You need to complete all your education. It may seem like a pain in the *** now but believe me it's worth it in the future. A HS education at the least is a valuable asset. Try working through your issues you might have even consider a new hs, just stay in school your almost done.

Yeah .. sure .. go ahead ... then You will be qualified to: be a hotel maid, bus tables in some greasy spoon restaurant, or schlep burritos at some taco bell ... but even some of those places require at least a HS diploma ...
sounds like you are setting your sights about as high as the top af the nearest fire hydrant ...

Hell, no. It's plain stupid to drop out in your senior year. Finish your education and attend college. You will definitely not regret it in the end. You will go so much farther in life with a proper education. Never give up.

why stop now? Are you a quitter? You don't want to see this through and graduate with your friends? Do you want to be known as a quitter? What would your parents think? Or don't you care about them either? Nobody likes a quitter and taking the easy way out isn't always the answer.

Why go through all those years of hard work, then, when your almost finished decide to drop out? Makes no sense to me.

No! Trust me you can't do anything in this world without a highschool education! I mean it's hard enough finding work with univeristy degrees and all, but you need at least a highschool education!
Why do you want to drop out? There must be a serious reason. If you want to chat about it please message me :)
