I had Inferiority complex during my High school days and people barely notice me. Now my school is havin its first grand alumni homecoming. I still feel shy to go coz I still have don't have a stable job up to now, no boyfriend, I feel so left out. I know I need to go see old friends and to have connections but I'm afraid to feel out of place. Should I go?

Of course! Why not? You are older now and I am sure that others will connect to you. Don't worry about a job. As a woman, you can call yourself an entrepreneur if asked. It will mean that you might dabble into many fields and/or self employed. I do think that the truth is always best though. You don't have to explain about a boyfriend or a job. You can just say that you haven't found the right one now and have all the time it takes to do that.You said it, "You need to go see old friends." You may be pleasantly surprised! We all tend to want to connect to our past for the most part and many times good memories will come flooding back. It would be cool to find at least one old friend from high school to get together and have lunch, walk with or just talk to. As for a job, you are still looking for the right one for you. As for a boyfriend, you don't want to commit to anyone right now. If you have any interests , bring that up.
I moved away after I got married, got divorced and then went for my first high school reunion and that was the 25th. While I found some to be snobbish, I also reconnected to many and we had a once a month get-together dinner out. That was fun ! Try it, you might like it! It could only help you to try to get out of your shyness. Good luck and go have a great time!

GO!
You will see old friends and relive some fun times that you had. Be proud of what you have done so far. No job? - let people know you are looking and let your skills be known (typing, clerk, teaching, daycare, cooking...there are lots more!) No boyfriend? - you are single and fancy free! Nothing tying YOU down! Talk about plans to travel - or any traveling you have done. Be a good listener, but don't forget to add your part too - don't just stand there! Speak up!
Be positive, go in with a smile and stand tall. Walk with confidence and you will be amazed at what your classmates will discover about you. YOu have a lot going for you...don't play the shy thing. You're an adult now -
Don't drink a lot (preferably not at all-but that is a choice you have to make), but do dance - even if it's with the girls doing the electric slide or whatever...
Wear a smile and don't let anyone know of your "problems." According to you, life is a bowl of cherries and you know what...you may be the most successful person there!
have fun!

Think of it this way: it's the only opportunity you have to do it. Do you think you'll regret missing out?
After high school is over, people change, and their perspective on life gets larger. It seems like you are afraid of being judged by people, but I suspect that you'll find some people less judgmental now. I went to my 10-year reunion alone (without a date) and I had a great time.

If you want to go, go and not because you feel you "should" go. As far as feeling shy, probably the vast majority of your classmates feel the same way. To get over it, focus on asking people about themselves and not on what you think people are thinking about you. (Nine chances out of ten, they are not thinking about you at all).
Get out of your head, get out of the house and have fun. You might just meet a contact that leads to a new job or something else fun.

Go. when you see who's put on weight and who looks so much older, you won't feel so bad. Besides, renewing ties might lead to a new job. Relax, its never as bad as you think.
