For what it's worth, here in Australia, completing high school is really only necessary if you are planning on going to University.
I thought that completing HS and having good grades would be a benefit in life, it was too an extent, I went to Uni, but I didn't complete my
studies, (due to unforseen circumstances).
The amount of time that I spent at HS after the age of 16, when you can legally leave school, and then the amount of time I wasted at Uni, applying
myself to studies, all for nothing. Thats the way things happen sometime, but if I knew what was going too happen back then, I would have left after
Year 10 and taken up a trade.
I know a few people that left school to work in normal everyday jobs, while I was studying, they were making money, buying cars, buying houses,
starting up a family.
Now with the high price of living and the cost of real estate, there is no way that I can purchase a house on a normal wage.
So thats where staying at HS gets you, if you do choose too complete HS, then go to Uni, but if you go to Uni, make sure that you complete it!
