What advice would you give to teens leaving school early? Is this a good idea? Any first hand experience?

Question

I am not a teen leaving school I work with teens. I have searched the search engines for good advice I found conflicting information, So I am wondering...
Does any one regret leaving school early
Or is any one the next Henry Ford, who left school early and succeded and what about all those other genius' who did poorly at school?

What do I tell teenagers whom are leaving school early what do you believe they should know?

Answer 1

I personally would stay in school unless you really have to leave I would suggest the following:
-First make sure you have enough money to leave
- You having enough time to be a burger flipper at Wendy's
- Try to read books that advise you to earn money
- Go buy some stocks real estate when your older.
- live off your parents if needed
It's possible Henry Ford quit school at 14 and see how he did

Answer 2

Unless you're really smart and skipping ahead to college, I personally wouldn't leave school early. You won't learn as much or have the same job oppurtunities as highschool graduates. But if you really are going to drop out. The best place to work would be for the government. you'll make a little more than you would in a private business.

Answer 3

If you are not academic you are wasting everyones time by staying in school. But line up a good opportunity before you quit. You should aim to get an apprenticeship or traineeship to improve your job prospects. Most people forget that important work and often well paid work is done by tradies. Not everyone is meant to sit behind a desk.

Answer 5
