Does gradumating from high school really matter? I ain't see no difference?

Question

I have a good job at the gas station, and a 5 cent discount.

Answer 1

You ain't see no difference? Fine. Stay where you are and let others get educated and good jobs.

Answer 2

An education does not guarantee a good job. I've met software engineer's who make close to $100K who have very little education. They just had the skills or the right friends. An education can get you in the door and give you choices. I've met people who have a BA and work retail like yourself. It's just a game of odds. Your chances of finding a high paying job is better w/ an education. It also depends on what you want. If money isn't important and you don't want a family, then stay the course. Just realize you'll give up certain things.

Answer 3

If you ever want other options than working at the local gas station, you'd better get a High School Diploma.
Right now, working at the station may earn you enough money to play with.
If you ever want to get married and have kids, you'll need more options.
Just stick it out in High School. It's a LOT harder to go back later and get a GED, and it's not looked at with the same respect.
Besides, you can really use a little improvement with your spelling and grammar.

Answer 4

Good luck to you - but is that all you want to do for the rest of your life? Education gives you choices and chances in life which is why it is a good idea to get as much education as possible. Not having a high school diploma cuts you off from many opportunities.

I hope that you stay as happy as you are now for the rest of your life.

Answer 5

Definitely matters… even if you keep your stellar job and discount, you would at least correctly spell ‘graduating’

Answer 6

Well I'd say you're set for life!
