I’m going to drop out of high school next semester

Just finish it you fucking nigger.

I'm afraid you are a brainlet if you throw out any possibly chance of opportunity handed to you for the sake of laziness. The worlds stupidest man has a bigger brain than anyone who throws away something they may have to rely on later in life.

>I am currently in a situation where I cannot graduate anyways because I failed an essential class this semester. I will inform you all ahead of time that I’m not a brainlet
High school is piss easy, if you can’t pass it you are a brainlet.

If you drop out you’ll prove to be even a bigger brainlet. Existing in today’s world with a college degree is harder but manageable with some other options. None of those options are available if you don’t have a GED.

Prove your non brainlet status and finish high school pal. You will regret it if you don’t.

>i plan to be a failure
duuuururururururur

There's no reason not to finish highschool except expulsion or retardation.

I took online classes so I could finish high school early

You’re right, although that certainly supposes I could be successful in my own business or trading unusual hats.
>If you're coming to Zig Forums for advice like this, you probably don't have a plan on what you're doing after you drop out?
Correct.
> Just ask yourself this, why on earth would anyone want to hire you when even the shittiest wagie jobs are getting people with degrees and masters applying?
I’ve considered that. My conclusion was that degrees as they stand are largely a bubble and don’t confer useful skills etc upon their recipients except for cases of STEM. My assessment is that degrees don’t have anything in the way of intrinsic worth so much as they do only as proxies for other qualities of a person, such as an at least average IQ, work ethic, and so on. While I would be at a disadvantage, I think the conventional wisdom on the necessity of a degree for even wagie positions is mistaken.
I was passing and generally a B+ student before COVID, and I attend a public magnet that is in the top 20 nationally iirc. I don’t have plans of going to college only because I don’t think I would benefit from it sufficiently to pay back the debt I would inevitably incur in order to attend.

user you can't even join the army without a high school diploma. Just toughen the fuck up and finish school.

user in the world where everyone has master degree be able to finish highschool is bare minimum otherwise you will get fucked unless you do your own stuff, if you cant do bare minimum how can someone trust you important things? Ofc education is a meme but if you going to work for someone else you are fucked

>Retaking my failed classes would mean extending the amount of time I’m in the school system
Just fucking do it. I know it’s not fun, but you’re really shooting your self in the foot if you just drop out. As for college, you shouldn’t go if you can’t even finish high school

I barely scraped by in high school despite being one of the smarter people at the school because fuck homework. Got into the trades at 17 right after I graduated and I’m making $100k a year right now
