what are career options when one wants to drop out highschool at grade 10?

Answer 1

Fast food, retail sales, manual labor - basically any job you can get while you're a high school student is open to people who quit high school. Most people who do this find they can't make a living wage without a GED or diploma at the very least.

The other best option is to find someone wealthy who will support you. But that's pretty chancy.

Answer 2

Career wise this is not a good plan. Without a GED or High School diploma you will have a difficult time qualifying for most technical schools and training. You won't even be eligible for a military career.

Talk to your counselor and see about preparing for your State High School Proficiency Exam or GED. Don't leave school without some kind of degree in hand. Find out how to transfer to your school district's continuation school, where you can earn credits at a different pace than standard school practices.

Your future will be much brighter if you can hang on a little longer and try to earn some credits.

If you just drop out at grade 10 you will most likely end up with a career serving food, cleaning up after others, or doing manual labor most of your life. You're smarter than that! Talk to your counselor today.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Your career options will be limited to menial, degrading, crappy teenage jobs where you will be treated like an idiot/worker ant. It's possible to stay somewhere for a long time and work your way up but that takes a lot of time and a lot of toil.
Go to college! You only have to suffer high school for two more years and it will pass before you know it. College is expensive but worth it. If you can't afford it, take out student loans. College will give you a good experience for four years as well as opportunities in the work place that go beyond crappy minimum wage jobs. You can pay off your student loans with the career you have after college. You are much better off staying in school and going to a four-year university. It will dramatically affect the rest of your life and your place in the world. DO NOT give up.

Answer 4

Hi If you do not finish high school your chances of a good job are very very poor, you will be working for minimum wage, like a gas jockey or bus boy in a restaurant. Stay in school! Study and learn as much as you can, you will never be sorry. Afterwards you may have enough money to even better your education to get a very good job.

Answer 5

It shows a lot of initiative that you would ask for advice. You are more of a team player than you know. To ask for and maybe take advice is huge and mature. It also shows you are aware of the future and your place in it.
In my opinion, the fact that you are asking the question means you have no big plans or focus after dropping out. If you were a young computer whiz with a plan...you would be asking different questions.
10th grade, 15 years old.
The thing about completing high school and then going to a 4 year college, aside from obvious education, is that you are on track with kids your age up to something more than a "Jerry Springer, sit on the couch, take jobs where you are bossed around all day" life.
Consider this:
Talk to the cool teacher at school or the newest teacher or the Principal...they are usually very hopeful and helpful.
Tell them you want to drop out and the real reasons why
( Some reasons might be: It is bad at home, I am failing English, I am abused, I want money for bling, I have a drug problem, someone is hurting me, I need to get away, no one loves me, I do not want to be poor anymore, my mom is sick and I need to support the family, I have a broken heart and want to move, pregnant , being bullied etc...whatever).
Then, after you have expressed yourself fully to the school people, stay in school, maybe another school, and prepare a plan with the school people including getting tutors to help raise grade point average, field trips to colleges, see a college counselor at colleges just to ask questions.
Volunteer at hospitals to be around responsible adults. If you have a counselor at your school that helps with college questions, ask them to show you college catalogs so you can see some of the courses you can take. When you take classes, you can take a group of classes you are interested in. You are learning how to show up to all classes, do all assignments on time, listen to new ideas and share your ideas. Believe me, low end jobs and lazy people will not be interested in your ideas or any new ideas.
So stay on track until age 21 so you can have a life where people listen to you, respect you and listen to your ideas about life.
You will have friends in college that you can talk to about big things. Drop outs usually stay small except the ones who have a plan...and it does not sound like you have a plan if you drop out.
You can go to college anywhere in the world and get help from the government or private groups to help pay for school and housing.
Be young, healthy, educated, safe, thinking big.
Use the internet to look up colleges that have classes that interest you. Example "Video game design colleges", "music production colleges".
Feel lucky that schools want your opinion in the form of homework. Kids in some countries never get to go to school either because they are forced to work as children or because their country charges money to go to elementary school.
Do not work to buy stuff.
Delay buying stuff.
There will be better, cooler bling and cars in 11 years when you are 21 and a responsible adult who can buy a car, house, travel or help others.
You will have friends that enjoy life and don't talk about money or making it someday.
Drop outs usually stay frozen where they were when they dropped out, same low jobs, same kinds of friends, same neighborhood.
With school, you can have freedom the rest of your life.
Age 15 is also an age where students take up a sport and a musical instrument. These will keep you busy too until age 21...by then you will be really good at the sport and the instrument. Just keep taking lessons or classes in tennis, running etc in school. The cheapest music classes are in school and college. Don't miss the chance to start these. Ask the Principal about all the sports clubs, clubs, tutoring and music instruction. Build you life now. Build it.

Answer 6

Hmm, porno star, prostitute, McDonald's drive thru, carnival worker, hmmm...oh yeah, drug dealer, and a lot of other BAD options. Continue in school and finish! PLEASE do not drop out, knowledge really is power and you can do anything. You need that education, treat every day at school like an opportunity to learn something more about the world, and the people in it.

Answer 7

Say hello to your "wonderful" career in fast food. If you enjoy flipping burgers than you're good to go. Otherwise, stay in school, you will regret dropping out.

Answer 8

Bus boy
Dish washer
burger flipper

These are some of the better jobs.
