Answer 1

To read and write. Also to learn new skills which will come useful in the future.

Answer 2

So you won't be a loser for the next 75 years. You're going to live to be 90, so you need to keep that in mind. If you quit school, it might improve your lifestyle for about 6 months, but then you're going to be paying for it for the next 75 years. Nobody's going to respect your decision (and they shouldn't) and belive me, it makes a difference.

If you can marry a rich guy, then maybe you can have the best of both worlds. You'll still always be a joke to other rich guy's wives who have an education, though. Just something to think about.

You should always make decisions so that you don't have terrible regrets later. That's obvious. The decision not to excel is school is probably the one that causes the most terrible regrets. Most people who tried it will be honest enough to tell you.

Answer 3

Before I go on my tirade, I am going to say this. I dropped out of high school. I got my GED, scored well, and began college at 17, but I did just as poorly in college as I did in high school and ended up dropping out. When I was 19, I joined the Army and have been able to really make some big strides towards my education since then.
Now, to answer your question. You should stay in school because it is the easiest path to success.
You could drop out and end up very successful, but it is ridiculously hard, and that is why most drop outs don't do it. Lets face it, most people drop out of school because they are lazy and/or undisciplined, and if they are too lazy to take the easiest road they are certainly not going to make it anywhere on the harder road of a drop out.
I regret having dropped out. Not because people ask about my high school education when I apply for jobs now, they don't. By they time you're 21 (I, by the way, am now 24), no one cares if you got a GED or a traditional diploma. I regret it because people ask about my college education, which I don't have yet because I had to spend two years playing Army before I could even start college. Then when I could start college, I had to take courses in non traditional settings and at a slower rate than students strait out of high school do, so its probably going to take me a good two years longer to get my bachelors than it would have if I had just graduated from high school and gone strait to college. I have to do all this while working a full time job, because I have bills to pay, so now here I am in my early 20's when most young professionals can party and have a good old time, and I've given up all my social life to school, work and the Army.
It is far easier and much more fun just to stay in school and do it the traditional way. I will never get to experience frat parties, or dorm life, or homecoming week. Hell, I never even got prom. And now, when I should be clubbing and going to happy hours and concerts, I am grueling away at work and school dreaming of the day I can get my bachelors and move on to a job I actually like.
And I'm one of the lucky ones who went somewhere after getting a GED. Most of the people I know who dropped out of high school are still bussing tables and living in their mommy's basements. They don't have any friends anymore because they are still living like 16 year olds, and the rest of the world is going to grow up and move on, no matter how much you fight growing up.
But its your choice, ultimately. You're either going to work now or work later. Its up to you when you want to do it.
Good luck!

Answer 4

To get an education to get a better job so you don't have to live paycheck to paycheck or on the streets.

I would suggest staying in school and going to college and getting a good job.

Answer 5

If you don't you'll become an uneducated moron with no way to support yourself legally. Stealing don't count! If you plan to marry someone to keep you in food and rent, don't plan on that either. People end up leaving or dying or abandoning you in some way. You must learn to fend for yourself and you can't do it if you don't have the knowledge.

Answer 6

Well gee maybe because if you go through school and get an education then you'll get a lot of money and the words you have to say everyday won't be, "You want fries with that?"

Answer 7

Life is all about making investments in the things that are important to us. Investing in ourselves through education allows us to make the most out of our lives.

Answer 8

If you quit this, it will be a pattern in your life to just quit when things get hard. By being a quitter, you will never succeed at anything and you will feel bad about yourself.

Answer 9

Why don't you tell us why not? I've never used my college major, but I have had several jobs that I have enjoyed that I would not have been offered if I had not had that defree.

Invest in yourself. If you're not worth your time and effort, who else is?

Answer 10

you should at least get your diploma, college that's optional if you do decide to go to college find a major that will help you work for yourself cause that's more rewarding than working for someone else making someone else rich, punching in a clock .
