go to school and learn a trade (electronics for me) and after two years get a good job. once you get into the job and all, take night classes at the local university to get your degree in whatever your going for. decent idea? or whats yalls input. I'm hardly liking school right now, and this would get me the money to do as i please and put myself throught college.

x2

why don't you do all the schooling all at once? the job to support yourself plus college is tough.

thats what im doing, i dropped out at 19 when i was in 10th grade still.

I have a dead end job as a cook, and have no training or special education, to do what id like to be doing, witch is a audio installer, or a mechanic, although i know my shit around the car, as soon as whoever you are trying to get a job for finds out you havent been to special schooling or have a special certificate like youe MECP your done, hands down no matter what.

And as for mooching off my parents, i was just kidding, trying to pay the bills every month, and still ahve enough cash to have some fun with AND save up little by little to go to school and get that training is impossable...

Be smart and stay in school

Novel idea: Go to school for your own edification, not to conform to social expectation.

Growing up is overrated. Don't do it. Once you become Joe-everyman your soul dies.

I have to manage my time going to school, studying, working, partying, and of course wasting my time in Internet fourms.

I hardly ever sleep. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Yes get some schooling i got out of school when i was in 9th grade not by choice, but i wasnt a angle. Now I am wishing i didnt party and went to school etc. Once your working 2-3 jobs full time that only pay $12-15hr or so and work 100hrs a week to pay the bills and stuff its no fun.

Working my *** off trying to save money and pay bills so I can go to audio school. Its tough, wake up at 4:30am and don't get home til 8:00pm, sometimes later.

college is so different form high school. i mean i got like a 1.25 in high school and here im getting around a 3. its so tight party all you want do what u want and when u study do it and its done. i play football, go to school, work as a gruad at conagra, lift and run with the team, and travel home to work on truck as much as possible. so you gotta do what you gotta do but still once your in school go head and finish it its easier that way

haha well yeah obviously...

1st step: get a 1.25 in HS

2nd step: apply to a joke college which accepts people who get a 1.25 in HS

3rd step: get a 3.0 in college when mixed with all the other people who got a 1.25 in HS...

... atleast you made it to some sort of a college, but I'd love for you to come here and see what a really competitive college is all about.

Do the college thing and get done with it. I am wish I had finished college. I would go back but I hate school. But if you can take it, stay in it. Do something with computers, that is where is has been and will be for a long time.

if you have 2 full time jobs and 1 part time job(40 + 40 + 20= 100) at $13.50/hour that is $1350.00/week which is $5400.00/month and $64,800.00/year...if your struggling to pay the bills there is a problem.

here in LA, its still hard
