    Anyone who doesn't finish high school has shown themselves to be unreliable, with little or no ability to stick with something important.
    They would go to the bottom of any list of candidates for a job, as I would expect them to just quit the job, if things got a bit tough.
    And in what world is a hundred dollars a week even a living wage? I was earning $105 a week in 1964, and I was only 16.

      Come now, I think that's a little harsh. I will say this though, anyone who dropped high school and hasn't gotten their GED is an idiot.

        If someone quits something as easy as high school, how could they be expected to stick with anything that's even a little bit difficult?
        In the US, their bills are paid (by mom &/or dad), they have a place to live, food to eat (subsidized if needed), decent clothes to wear, transport to and from school if needed, and often extracurricular activities available to them.
        That's a lot easier life than having to deal with the real world and support oneself. Not harsh, realistic.

    They're losing money now, but when they graduate their income will skyrocket.

    Hey, high school isn't for everyone. As long as you're happy then good for you. Yeah, I think it's normal for people to think you're dumb, but it's your life and as long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters. You seem like you're getting by alright, so don't worry about anyone else.

    dude I think it is great you are making good money.I don't think you are an idiot at all. I DO think you should keep up with your business and get your GED in your spare time. It is a nice thing to have.

    Even the untouchables in India make more money than that. What was the monumental reason that you did not finish high school? I take it you are living with your parents, correct?
